Emotional & Verbal Abuse:
Emotional abuse is the result of the aggressor wanting to be in control of the other person’s behavior and or feelings. The abuser tries to limit his or her partner’s ability to act independently, undermining their confidence. Verbal abuse includes all lack of respect towards a partner, usually begins with swearing at a partner, insulting then belittling them, and finally threatening them with words.
Physical Abuse:
In most cases, males use physical force to show they are in control (I only hurt you because of how much I love you), while females use it to protect themselves, to retaliate, or fear of being assaulted. Physical abuse includes hair-pulling, biting, shoving, slapping, choking, strangling, punching, kicking, burning, advancing all the way to using or threatening to use a weapon, and holding a partner hostage.
Sexual Abuse:
Sexual abuse includes unwanted sexual touching, force, or pressure (you will do it if you love me) to get a partner to consent, rape or attempted rape, and attempting or having sex with a person who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
