Understanding the Progression of Abuse

Abuse only gets worse with time. As years progress so does the violence. Today you may hear “just” some verbal abuse like “you idiot, don’t you know how to do anything right?” or maybe something more subtle like a disapproving look, or maybe a harsh judgmental glance.

But as years goes by, the abuse progressively gets worse. Many times it progresses into threats of murder, taking the children, having her put in jail, or destroying her career.

Unfortunately the abuser needs to remain in control of the victim, so s/he must continually progress to a new level of abuse to remain in control. Please see Types of Violence and Abuse for better understanding.

Once threats don’t assure the batterer that he is in control, he will begin hitting, chocking, slapping, and other forms of violence. If the woman is not saved from this level of abuse, the likelihood of this type of an abusive relationship can lead to death.

With just one small act of kindness you can take a stand against Domestic Violence and make a difference in their life by letting them know they are not alone and there is help.

Join me today in saving a life. Please share this with friends, family, co-workers, and organizations – because together we can make a difference in a woman’s and her child’s life!
