The real scars of domestic violence are invisible.
"Violence" is not always a physical attack. The most damaging impact of violence is the emotional trauma experienced by victims.
The warning signs are not always easy to identify because they involve an ongoing pattern of intimidation, deceit, isolation & control. But understanding the pattern of emotional abuse which typically precedes and accompanies physical violence is a crucial first step .
Armed with information, we can all contribute to a more comfortable
public dialogue about the causes and warning signs
and relieve the stigma associated with domestic abuse in all its forms.
Every small gesture of concern makes a difference for someone,
but a united effort can change the world.

What Emotional Abuse
Really Sounds Like
It's important that we confront the reality of abuse to understand it. These examples are intended to provide a realistic perspective on how verbal and emotional abuse can look, sound or feel. Yet these represent only one person's experience and only a few incidents. The impact of emotional abuse or coercive control is its CONSTANCY over time.
Every situation is unique but violence can be characterized as abusive whenever a person feels consistently threatened in their own home, when there is a pattern of ongoing and intentional disruption to his or her sense of well-being.
