The abuse can take many forms, including physical battering, emotional abuse, economic abuse, and sexual abuse, and may involve using children, pets, threats, intimidation, and isolation.
Domestic violence affects all types of people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, sexual identity, socioeconomic status, and religion. Absue in relationships largely manifests itself in the form of jealously and possessiveness. Sadly, most people teens through adults do not see that they are being abuse or abusive. And abuse can have long lasting or permanent effects such as depression, disruptive behavior, anxiety, and in severe cases, suicide.


Unfortunately, there are many common misconceptions when it comes to classifying what constitutes an absuive relationship. I've posted the following to help clarify. It helped me.

I think many people, especially teenage girls, mistake possessiveness for love and affection. Having someone care about you is nice and they don't realize when it turns into too much. It is very important to look at the real definition and try and see it from that perspective.
