Am I involved in a DV situation if I haven’t been physically hurt?
Domestic violence is not always physical. It can be verbal, emotional, financial, social, psychological, digital, sexual or involve stalking. Domestic violence occurs when someone in an intimate relationship, or an ex-partner, uses FEAR to CONTROL the other person in that relationship. Domestic violence is GENDERED in nature, in that it is mainly perpetrated against women and their children by men.
