Prevent Domestic Abuse: Some Signs You Should Not Ignore Print E-mail
Domestic violence is not only broken bones, and there are many more subtle signs to look out for. Even these types of subtle abuses may eventually lead to serious physical assaults. If you or someone you know experiences any of the following, you should seek help in order to prevent domestic abuse. It is always a good idea to watch out for the warning signs of abuse including controlling and possessive behavior, threats with or separate from physical and emotional attacks.

Abusers start by trying to exert almost total control over the lives of their partners. If they try or succeed in stopping you from talking with friends, then you should take serious consideration about talking about the issue with someone you trust. It can be the first step down a very painful and controlling lifestyle if you are not aware of it when it is happening.

The next step is your partner not letting your family visit. If your partner refuses to allow you to see your family it is a sign of a controlled situation that merits serious attention immediately.

Abusers do not want their victims to have the financial means to leave, so they retain control of family finances. Normally, they will refuse to put your name on the bank account of the family. By denying access to money, it makes it more difficult for you to leave them.

They also arrange for all of the mail to be sent to another address. This ensures that you cannot see it. By controlling access to information, abusers are trying to keep control of you and your family. It is extremely typical for abusers to monitor e-mail and even telephone and internet activity.

Often, they use children as an emotional weapon against their partners. Your partner threatens you with violence or threatens to take your children away. This is a serious sign and should not be taken lightly, just as all the other signs of potential abuse within a family. If you suspect domestic abuse in your own life or the life of a friend, it is crucial that you take action in order to prevent domestic abuse.
