Generally, abuse can be part of a larger picture of power and control. Domestic violence is about one person getting and keeping power and control over another person in an intimate relationship. It may be a pattern of behavior in which one intimate partner uses physical violence, coercion, threats, intimidation, isolation and emotional, sexual or economic abuse to control and change the behavior of the other partner.
