An abuser often wears down his partner by unrelenting criticism and fault-finding. This form of psychological abuse is especially cruel, she says, because it is often disguised as a way of " teaching the woman how to be a better person." (Berry, 1,2). Domestic violence any one can be a victim; the victims can be any ages, sex, race, culture, religion, education, employment or marital status. Although both men and women can be abused, most victims are women. Children in homes where there is domestic violence are more likely to be abused or neglected, most of the children in this home know about the violence, even if a children is not physical harmed, they may have emotional and behavior problems.

It's very difficult to separate the psychology behind abuse from the cultural and social influences that shape us all. Many women still feel that they have to have a man to be a whole person, also many women stand up to violence, try anything to stop it, but they discover that they can not, many women do remain or leave and then go back.
