1. Domestic violence includes physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Physical abuse includes violent behavior like throwing things, shoving, hitting, kicking and even biting.

On the other hand, emotional abuse can manifest physical illnesses. It is a vicious cycle and you need to learn to recognize the signs in the early stages of your relationship.

If your partner blames you for their bad behavior, it is time to take action. Mistreating you even if you are at fault is a complete no-no. So, know your rights and fight for your self-respect.
4. Many people who behave violently towards their partner can also be kind and considerate at times and this makes their partner misjudge their intentions. You are most likely to experience violence after a relative calm period. So do not be taken in by the occasional kind behavior.
5. If you are in a relationship that involves domestic violence of any form, do not hesitate to get help. There is no shame in seeking help; it is the person who abuses you, who needs to be ashamed of. So at the first signs of violence, get help. It is better to nip the violence in the bud.
While there are many statistics to suggest that people of all races, religion, age, status and educational background go through domestic violence, it is not the reason to be in a violent relationship. There are ample laws to help women who are facing domestic abuse. So, know your rights and take action accordingly.
