Effects of Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse comes in many forms. It’s important to understand that domestic abuse doesn’t have to include physical abuse. It can be emotional or sexual abuse. The effects of domestic abuse are complex and can include long-lasting consequences such as posttraumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

Other consequences can include fear of intimacy, trouble sleeping, and a belief on the victim’s part that they must keep an emotional distance from others to prevent future abuse. Sexual issues can also be a common symptom. Physical issues can include central nervous system issues, headaches, and digestive issues.

How to Spot Domestic Abuse

In the beginning, domestic abuse is often subtle, but it usually escalates over time. You may be experiencing domestic abuse if your partner:

  • Calls you names or otherwise puts you down
  • Discourages you from working or going to school
  • Discourages you from seeing friends or family
  • Tries to take away agency, or your ability to make decisions about your own life—such as how you spend money, where you go, what you wear
  • Threatens you
  • Hurts you, your children, or your pets
  • Forces you to engage in sex or sexual acts against your will
  • Blames you for their behavior
