Are You a Victim of Domestic Abuse?

Victims can be of any age, sex, race, culture, religion, education, employment or marital status. Children in homes where there is domestic violence are more likely to be abused and/or neglected. Most children in these homes know about the violence. Even if a child is not physically harmed, they may have emotional and behavior problems.

What are the characteristics of domestic abuse?

• It may be physical in the form of beating, hitting, shoving, using restraints


• It may be the threat of physical pain or abandonment.


• It may be emotional in the form of putdowns, name-calling and slurs, ridicule, belittling you, questioning your worth as a person, constantly criticizing you, or ignoring you.


• It may involve someone placing financial restrictions on you for the purpose of controlling you.


• If may involve efforts by someone to gain power or authority over you with the intent of making you  submissive

Domestic abuse can cause tremendous emotional pain because you are being or have been hurt by someone you trusted; someone you loved. The rejection by a loved one is an incredible burden on your emotions.

The emotional pain is destructive because it can go on and on, again and again, long after the actual threat of abuse may have passed. You have thoughts (memories) of the abuse and when you dwell on those painful events, the emotional pain can actually become worse and worse because negative thoughts tend to grow with attention.
