Domestic violence is not limited to physical abuse.  Emotional, sexual or threat tactics are also forms of domestic violence. 

Examples of abuse are: 

  • Harassment and intimidation

  • Physical assault including punching, slapping, hitting, pushing, choking, kicking

  • Threats of physical assault

  • Forced sexual activity

  • Restraint or confinement against one's will

  • Name calling and put-downs which destroy someone's self-esteem
