Domestic Violence
should not be a lifestyle

Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain control over another intimate partner. It includes physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional abuse, as well as threats of violence or economic control. The term "domestic violence" is now commonly defined broadly to include "all acts of physical, sexual, psychological or economic violence" that may be committed by a family member or intimate partner.
