Understanding And Recognizing Domestic Abuse

By Jayne Rutledge


One of worst problems that society is facing today is the act of domestic abuse which is alarmingly increasing increasing in rate. People who carry out these abusive acts use all kinds of acts like physical abuse, threats, guilt, or blackmail in order to be on top of their partners. The very first step to stopping such acts like these would be to first understand what they are and recognize them.

Now one thing about spousal violence is that it discriminates no one which means that it may happen to anyone. Whether one may be old or young, male or female, black or white, this type of act may actually happen and will create a lot of long term traumas when it comes to marriage and partnership. This is how bad this kind of abusive act and the extent of the effects would go really far.

One thing to take note of is that one does not become an abusive person just right after one day. In fact, the abusive behavior would usually come out just a few years or even months after marriage in small forms of insults or belittling comments. Of course if this may actually further escalate to more hurtful words that may actually humiliate the spouse.

Now from these small little hurtful words, forms of violence like physical violence may spring out. From little slaps to the faces or arms, more violent hits may actually come up. If the dominating spouse is not told off, then he or she may actually go as far as hitting the subdued one or even resort to scratching.

Now abusive behavior is not just limited to hitting the subdued partner or saying hurtful and belittling words. In fact, there is such a thing known as sexual abuse that may also happen between spouses. Forced sex is usually done by the men and is done in a manner that would hurt the subdued partner which may also be considered as rape.

Of course the signs of being a victim of this kind of behavior is actually quite obvious. If one acts very timid and seemingly scared in front of his or her spouse, then it is actually obvious that something is going in their house. Usually, victims would be on their toes and watching out for their actions as they are scared of offending their spouses.

Now a lot of people would be asking why the dominating partners would exhibit this kind of behavior in the first place. Well, one of the most common answers is that it is a manifestation of insecurity. The reason as to why abusive partners would hurt their spouses is simply because they do not feel good about themselves so they would take it out on their partners so they can feel like someone is below them.

Domestic abuse is definitely a big problem that must be stopped because of all of the bad effects. Being a victim of this type of act would actually result in low self esteem or excessive fear of people. No person ever deserves to be a victim of such madness.
