Added 2021-10-14 14:58:37 +0000 UTCDomestic violence does not discriminate and can happen to anyone. There are many forms of abuse, and it isn’t always just physical. DV can also include emotional, mental, verbal, financial, technological and sexual abuse. There is usually a cycle that a victim gets trapped in, and ultimately their partner uses power and control to keep them in it. You can’t always just leave like people would want you to. It requires very careful and strategic planning because leaving is the most dangerous time for a victim. That is when the abuser escalates and will go to any lengths to feel like they are not losing control of the situation. There are organizations out there that can help if you or a loved one are in a DV relationship. If you are unsure of local resources that you can access, please contact the 24/7 National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
