What is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence can affect ANYONE of ANY age, race, sexual orientation, religion, or gender.
It can happen to any couple, married, living together, or dating.

Domestic violence is not limited to physical abuse, such as punching, shoving, tripping, slapping, or biting. It can take the form of emotional, verbal, financial, sexual, or economic abuse, threats, and even intimidation.

If your partner is making you feel afraid, often insults or humiliates you, has hit, kicked, or punched you (or threatened to), keeps you from seeing your loved ones or pursuing your interests, blames you excessively, or gets angry often, you may be in an abusive relationship.
