Answer

Spousal abuse is two people living together and it doesn't matter if they are married or not and they are verbally or physically attacked by their partner. It just isn't men that can be abusive, but woman as well.

MENTAL ABUSE: Calling the victim names. Criticizing their every move. Demeaning them in front of others. Not allowing them to go out alone to have fun with friends and keeping them away from family members. Controlling the money (not giving her any money) and perhaps not allowing her to use the car/truck when she needs it. Playing "mind games" where he will stay out late at night and making sure the victim knows he's cheating on her, but will deny it. Degrading the victim by tell her she's stupid or ugly and taking her confidence away by telling her she would never get along in the world without him.

PHYSICAL ABUSE: Punching, kicking, twisting limbs, slapping, pushing so violently the person will fall and injure themselves. Bodily injury such as black eyes, broken bones, split lip, hair pulling, bruises. Some physical abusers will actually choose spots on their victims such as the rib, chest, or hip areas to hit because no one will see the marks.
