Domestic Violence: Are you a victim?

There are many types of personal injury, but perhaps the worst is when a loved one intentionally harms you or your family. Domestic violence is, unfortunately, very common. Whether the violence is physical or psychological, the results are often the same: a family is torn apart and its members, isolated.

Domestic violence is not defined as a single instance abuse, but as patterns of abuses that can range from physical violence or sexual abuse to psychological torture. The reason for these abuses often stems from a spouse’s insecurity of self or the fight for control over their partner. If you are wondering whether or not you are a victim of domestic violence, here is a list of common warning signs in domestic violence cases:

• Taking control of the money: your spouse denies you any rights to the money you or your family makes.
• Using children as pawns: your partner begins threatening the safety of your children if you do not do what he or she wants.
• Making you feel alone: your spouse talks you down, tells you that you are worthless, and breeds doubt about your friends and interests.
• Begins physically hurting you: your partner begins taking out frustrations on you in physical form and blaming you for their actions.
