Tell-Tale Signs Of Abuse That Could Lead To Domestic Violence

By Lisa Smith


Granted that many will consider domestic violence as one that has physical pain, but there is more to it than that. Wordless wars and silent battles could be just as damaging to the emotional and psychological stability of the persons who are involved. Since the parties involved are not really forthcoming about the violent nature of their relationship, it is difficult to tell whether something is going on or not. This is the kind of abusive relationship that is even more dangerous than one that involves physical pain since, sooner or later, it is going to blow up big-time. Yet, as mentioned, most cases of domestic violence never get to see the light of day.

There are people who say that domineering parties in a relationship is an indication that there is something abusive within that relationship. That is not entirely true. It could be that the person's abundance of love and affection is misconstrued to be traits that can be described as domineering. On the other hand, some people could think that these are actually signs of the person growing to become abusive in the future. Domestic violence plays out the same way, no matter how far along you are in your relationship. You either have one spouse doing all the abusing, or you have both of them constantly involved in a tussle.

All relationships are bound to have traces of violence, with the parties involved having a violent streak. Domestic violence cases have been known to happen in both gay and heterosexual relationships. No age, gender, race, nationality or economic status has a monopoly of being abusive or violent when in a relationship. If you check out the records, you will find that many cases of domestic violence have been filed. Unfortunately, the legal system seems to be helpless in curbing this statistic.

As earlier mentioned, violence within a relationship can be psychological or physical. Enraged after a bout of hurtful words, a spouse's temper could reach breaking point. After the verbal attacks, physical attacks could follow. When the violence is still verbal, people around the fight couples will say that they will iron things out, simply because none of the couples walks out of the house with a bruise. But if they help in defusing the situation early on, when the verbal attacks are still in the early stages, they could greatly help in preventing the domestic violence into escalating to uncontrollable proportions.

Protect yourself by focusing on two areas in a relationship that you are entering. Take careful note if your spouse is exhibiting signs of being domineering. He may have the tendency to belittle you and your value in the relationship. This will then bring in a fear within your towards them, which is also the other sign that you need to look out for. This is something that happens more often to women than to men. Walking away from the relationship would be the best thing you can do. If you need help, you can call the domestic violence hotline.
