Psychological Abuse - when you are told you are ugly, fat, hopeless, stupid, a bad mother, etc. "If you really love me, you would..."
Social Abuse - when you are not allowed to see the people you want to see, or when you don't see your family or friends because you decide it isn't worth all the arguments.
Financial Abuse - when you are not given enough money to feed and clothe yourself or your children and/or when you get no money for paying bills, but are expected to make ends meet. Financial abuse also includes being required to hand over your money.
Physical Abuse - when you are pushed, shoved, hit, punched or kicked or when objects are used as weapons against you. This is the most obvious form of domestic violence.
Sexual Abuse - when you are pressured or forced to participate in any sexual activity against your will.
