Family Abuse
"We
define domestic abuse as an incident or pattern of incidents of
controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behaviour,
including sexual violence, in the
majority of cases
by a partner or ex-partner, but also by a family member or carer. It
is very common. In the vast majority of cases it
is experienced by women and is perpetrated by men" Source
