Family violence is a recurring cycle of bullying of one partner over another in close relationships. It can be overlooked and for some time to refer to a bad mood or bad character of a partner, but if it repeats with an enviable constancy - it's time to sound the alarm.
An important feature of the concept of family violence is that it is the multiple incidents of various kinds of bullying. Violence, unlike a family conflict, is systemic. At the heart of the conflict is a specific problem to be solved, and attacks take place to gain absolute control over the injured party. Although the abuser can call various more or less adequate reasons for his actions, in reality he is motivated by the desire to establish complete control over one of the family members. Victimology of family violence shows that women and children are the victims of family violence most often. It is this category that most often does not have the strength and character to rebuff the tyrant and despot. Unfortunately, most often such a person is a native husband and father.
Types of family violence can be divided into several categories:
- Economic violence. The independent solution of most financial issues, the refusal to support children, the concealment of income, an independent waste of money.
- Sexual violence. At the hour of family turmoil, husbands are harboring anger in sex and violence against their wife or children. This type of violence also includes: sexual pressure, forcing unacceptable sex, coercion to intimate relationships with strangers, children, and sex in the presence of third parties.
- Physical violence (beating, strangling, throwing, spitting, pushing, holding, controlling access to medical or social assistance).
- Psychological violence (insults, violence against children or others to establish a threat of control, intimidation by violence against oneself, domestic animals, damage to property,
blackmail, coercion to degrading actions). - Use of children to control an adult victim (coercion of children for physical, psychological violence over the chosen victim, manipulation with children).
Victims of family violence should never tolerate such a state of affairs. Even if self-esteem does not allow you to wish for a better life, you must always seek help from friends and relatives. And in some cases, only government agencies can help those who fall under the tyrant's arm.
