There are many forms of abuse from verbal and emotional to physical that often escalates over time in intensity for the victim. Data from the criminal justice system, hospital patient medical records and mental health records, police reports, surveys and social services reports of thousands of women revealed that many are injured and killed as a result of violence from someone close to them. “The US Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) defines domestic violence as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender” (Robertson & Murachver, 2009).

By Sarah saying that she is manipulating Matt and making him feel bad and guilty for what “he has done”. Matt has expressed how he feels about the situation and Sarah feels bad for using and says sorry but she continues to do it. Besides that, they have not been experiencing any other abuse.
