There are many different types of domestic violence. It ranges from physical, emotional, psychological, or sexual. Studies show that emotional abuse is as harmful as physical abuse. Emotional abuse is anything done verbally. Name-calling, yelling, blaming, and shaming are a few examples of emotional abuse. A person being emotionally abused might think that they’re the problem, that everything is their fault. They will be used to being called anything that will bring them down. When you threaten someone so that they will do exactly what they’re told, you’re leaving a scar on them emotionally. “Physical abuse is the use of physical force against another person in a way that ends up injuring the person or putting the person at risk of being injured”(Haley55).
