domestic violence
This is a good site that describes various types of abuse that can happen within a relationship, and what to do about it. http://www.domesticviolence.org/violence-wheel/.
Ultimately, domestic violence is one person's attempt to get and keep control in a relationship.
The wheel enumerates various types of violence: coercion and threats, intimidation, emotional abuse, enforced isolation, minimizing/denying/rationalizing, using the children, economic abuse, and "male privelege."

Ok, the first time I saw this wheel it made me unhappy. That is because my life was easily seen on the wheel. A girlfriend gave it to me when she confronted me about my home life. Not cool. Since then God has actually shown me His way out and our marriage changed.
yippee!! I'm glad to hear it.
