What Do You Call Domestic Violence

[grandmoon]

What do you call domestic violence ??

I know and call phyical abuse but what else do you call DV ??

[watta*drama*queen]

The thread is about domestic violence. Domestic violence is domestic violence no matter what shape it takes.

Well said rabbit !

Contrary to the 'opinions' of some - the nagging wife is not BS but reality, despite what some would like to ignore or deny

It falls squarely in the category of emotional abuse in many instances ..

I'm so sad for you, Joanie, that after the way you are treated you still defend your attackers and chose to live in the same community with them and still defend their right to abuse you.

I don't understand, my mom passed away, my sister and nefues live more than 100 miles to the north of this camper on my dad's property, police are everywhere and unavoidable. How am i defending them, or living near them?, even if my sister and her family decided to follow me down here, i'm still homeless and living in this camper, kinda stuck, and far as defending them, theres no chance of that. I avoid them as much as i can, and have nothing but bad things to say about them. but most of the time i pay them no mind and just worry about myself and getting into a apartment in this area. when and if i do, not even dad is gonna know where i live if i have anything to say about it, i don't have a problem with my dad, just trying to get my life moving in the right direction and can't have dad calling me "he and him" around new neighbors. If dad ever leaked my information to my sister, she would have me thrown out of whatever apartments i got into. Her and her husband are friends with my rapist (the police)

That is sad, Joanie. Sometimes you need to distance yourself from family if they are bad for your health. I hope that you get your fresh start soon. Is there anywhere that you can move to where your gender wouldn't be an issue and the police are kinder?

I truely hope that things get better for you soon Joanie.

Joanie, I so much hope you can get into a place far away from anyone you know and into a community that is more open minded and accepting.

Yes, an abusive wife might fall into the category of deomestic violence but that does not exlude the possibility that it is also used as a means to distract from the topic of domestic violence or the serious impact it has on women.

A nagging wife is not in the same league as a murdering husband, nor does it cause murder.

[lionrose.7]

This is one of the worst cases in NZ where the police totally failed to protect this family.

The husband shot his children and burnt the house down then shot him self.

He had a DV order out agaist him and had broken it several times, he had given the children bullets as a present before this happened.

All was reported to the Police

Domestic violence can have just as serious impacts on men as on women .

Just because it is not talked about on here as much as the impact on women, that is no reason to suggest rabbit was using it as a 'means to distract'

That these boards are largely 'matriarchal' or because men have greater psychological barriers to admitting they are the 'victim' is no reason not to raise it .  Just look around the boards and you will see demonstrations of incessent nagging by women .

Not all domestic violence leads to murder althought the results can be almost as devastaing - for both women and men .

some would debate that - and that's all I will say on the matter. PEACE.

Types of intimate partner violence

Below are some of the forms that domestic violence may take:

Physical - If someone is hurting you, or threatening to hurt you, a loved one or a pet, then you will need to take some action. For more information about what physical abuse is, see ‘What is physical abuse?’

Emotional - This form of violence is often unrecognised and can be very hurtful. To find out more about emotional abuse, read ‘What is emotional abuse?’

Economic - Having money and being able to make decisions about it, is one means of being independent. If someone is controlling your money, keeping you financially dependent, or making you ask for money unreasonably, then this is a form of violence

Social – Social violence occurs in relationships that often include other forms of violence. If someone is insulting you or teasing you in front of other people, keeping you isolated from family and friends, controlling what you do and where you go, then they are being violent and you may need to take some action

Spiritual - This type of violence involves a situation where you are not allowed to have your own opinions about religion, cultural beliefs, and values, or your spirituality is manipulated to keep you feeling powerless.
