Relationship abuse is a pattern of abusive tactics used by one person in a relationship to obtain and maintain power and control over the other person. Relationship violence is not an isolated instance of aggression. It is an atmosphere that is created by many forms of abuse and a cycle that increases over time in frequency and intensity.
Domestic Violence is a Crime!
