Domestic violence is only physical. When people come out and say "oh he calls me a bitch, he yells at me! he's abusing me!" Nope, nope. How is that domestic violence?

Domestic violence comes in many forms and can be characterized by the repeated use of coercive actions or threats to gain power or control over an intimate partner. Physical and verbal abuse are both types of domestic violence and both can cause serious emotional and psychological trauma. Causing emotional or psychological distress does not necessarily mean a person is not being abusive, and verbal abuse can escalate into more physical harm. All forms of abuse should be taken seriously, regardless of how subtle or indirect it may be.
