No loving woman is immune from the fact that the hand of someone who, it would seem, just yesterday, was the personification of an angelic deity, will rise on her. Domestic violence against women is unacceptable. And every self-respecting person needs to know what to do and who to contact in such cases.

Physical abuse in the family

The problem of domestic violence is relevant today. Every sane person realizes that the word «home» should only evoke warm memories, pleasant sensations, and not raise a storm of negative emotions filled with suffering.

According to statistics, domestic violence occurs in every fifth family. Many members of such unfortunate families do not consider it necessary to tell anyone about this. Worse, loving spouses are afraid of a second wave of male anger and every time they inspire themselves that “Beats means loves.”

Psychology of domestic violence

Often, those who are trying to prove their case or assert themselves at any cost raise their hands against loved ones. Basically, this person suffers from complexes. He seems to be offended by the whole world. It is possible that such a person with a miserable inner world does not have enough strength to cope with the influx of emotions.

A family tyrant can use sexual violence in his family, which leads not only to physical problems of the victim, but also to psychological trauma.
