Signs of domestic violence
Article
In many cases, domestic violence doesn't start with physical violence right away. It's often a gradual process.
The signs of domestic violence can be multifaceted. Some examples are:
- No time or permission to meet with relatives, friends, colleagues
- Decisions can only be made after consulting with the partner
- No personal financial resources available
- Threats to injure the person concerned or their children, friends, relatives, or pets
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Psychological problems such as sleep disorders, depression or addictive behavior, and suicidal thoughts
- Physical injuries (e.g. a black eye)
- Frequent miscarriages and physical injuries during pregnancy
- Partner who acts in a very controlled manner
- Partner who does not leave the person's side, insults the person and/or makes them look bad in front of others
- Partner who harasses or terrorizes the person during a separation
If you recognize these warning signs in you or the people around you, you should act immediately and seek professional assistance.
