Over 10 million people in the US are affected by physical violence every year. This number skyrockets once we include other forms of abuse. Domestic abuse or coercive control is a deliberate pattern of behavior that involves many forms of abuse, control, intimidation, and isolation. It is about systematically dominating and controlling another person.
