Why Do People Abuse?
Domestic violence and abuse are motivated by a desire to gain, strengthen, and control over an intimate partner. Abusive individuals believe they have the right to control and limit their partners. They may enjoy the feeling that comes from wielding power. The abuser frequently believes that he or she and his or her needs should take priority, so they use abusive tactics to make their partners feel less valuable and deserving of respect in the relationship.
Tips to Save Yourself from Domestic Violence:
1. Recognize your abusive partner's red sigh.
Keep an eye out for signs and hints that the abuser is upset and may burst in anger or violence. Make a list of solid reasons why you should leave the house if you believe you are in danger.
2. Identify which organizations can assist you.
You are not alone! Your friends and family members might not the best people to help you. Anyway, they could still reduce the risk of abuse.
