Cycle of violence

Domestic Violence is a type of abuse. It involves causing bodily injuring to someone, such as a spouse or partner but, not limited to a child & or other family member. The abuser doesn’t succumb to fear, because he or she uses fear to keep the victim under his or her control. The abuser will use various types of abuse to assert this power, and the overall framework in which the abuse occurs may follow a pattern called the cycle of violence. Cycle of violence: Violent events may occur in a variety of patterns the victim may experience ongoing, nonstop abuse, or the abuse may stop and start. One pattern of abuse often seen in a violent relationship begins with a tension building phase, followed by the actual abusive act, and then calm, making up phase often called the honeymoon phase. The tension building phase includes increasing anger on the part of the abuser coupled with attempts by the person being abused to avoid violence cause and effect.
