Domestic violence is the use of violence or the threat of violence as a way
to control a spouse, or a past or present romantic interest. It is a
pattern of violent behavior that seeks to establish domination or control
in a relationship. The key realities of domestic violence are control and
threats. This means that abusers attempt to gain control through
physical assaults and by issuing threats that instill the fear of being hurt.
