You can't believe everything you read and hear about domestic violence. They are not true. Domestic violence does not affect many people. It is believed that domestic violence is the most common, but least reported, crime in the United States.
Domestic violence is only physical abuse.
Sometimes there is no physical abuse, but the abuser will use other forms of abuse to exert power and control over an intimate partner. Domestic abuse is just a momentary loss of temper. The abuser makes a conscious decision to abuse. It is an ongoing technique to enforce control through the use of fear, ad it is part of a pattern of abuse. Domestic violence only happens in poor families.
