It is not easy to tell if the relationship will become abusive or not at the beginning of it. Domestic violence usually starts after the two get married and become a family as a whole.

It is important that abusers get caught and prosecuted and that the victims get the help they need. It is also important to prevent things like this from happening in the future by safeguarding and speaking out about things that a person may have seen or noticed in another. Places such as the ones mentioned in the presentation were involved in most of the types of abuse discussed and nothing was done about it until it was captured on film. Patients at these places had to go through experiences of abuse on a daily basis whether it was happening to them or to others they still had to endure the events.

Tell somebody because it may escalade into even worse things.”…
Emotional abuse is defined as a type of abuse which isolates the victim. The victim may be ignored or humiliated. Emotional abuse can often be disguised as a protector or a jealous loved one. However in reality, they are not. The abuser may lie, socially isolate, make demeaning comments, overly criticize, or even order the victim around like a servant. (http://www.healthyplace.com/abuse/emotional-psychological-abuse/emotional-abuse-definitions-signs-symptoms-examples/) The abuser may even control the money, how much is spent, what it’s spent on. The victim may not realize it, but what is happening is not love or anything remotely related to love. It is abuse and it can be harmful to the individual. In a study done, more women are emotionally abused by their common-law spouses than physically assaulted by 6%. (http://www.springtideresources.org/resource/emotional-abuse-women-male-partners-facts) While many people argue emotional abuse can be man on woman or woman on man, most studies show the woman is the victim.
