What do you consider physical abuse?

Question

like for a man to do to his wife or something.

what should a woman do if the person she loves is abusing her?

Answer 1

any form of aggressive physical contact, from a slap upwards.
or starving someone, imprisoning them etc. Depends what you are getting at.

Answer 2

YOU define abuse, of all kinds. Anything that makes you uncomfortable, scared, uneasy-- geenrally, anything that makes you feel BAD, or experience any NEGATIVE senses, when this person causes it to you without consideration, apology, empathy, or when they laugh at you pain, is abuse.
You can think abuse is laughing at you; he does not have ot hit you. Name calling is abuse, yelling is abuse, getting mad all the time is abuse, not listening to you is abuse.... and so on--
bsacially:
Anything you do not want the other person to do, but he does it anyway, (if youve expressed your displeasure) he is abusing you, extorting you for his own pleasure or psychological gratification somehow, at your expense.

--Well obviously you have to leave the guy!! But it isnt easy,. the more psychotic they are... the best thing is a ntework- never let him get between you and your firneds and family-- it is their way of 'trapping' you in the abusive relationship. Let everyone know what is going on, ask them to come to your side, and help you through the split up. Tell them to not let you go back or let him come back; and if anything else needs to be done, get a restraining order, change your phone number, even move if you have to-- depending on the severity. Those poeple DO become killers-- the longer you stay, the worse they get, the more they think you have no right to leave them because they become dependent on you subservience for their mental stability.

Leave! Sounds simple, but its hard-- NOT impossible, though. You can do it!!!


Oh and an important tip:
Feel NO shame in this, feel NO guilt. It is NEVER you fault, I dont care what he or anybody says.
When it comes to an abusive person, you must understand htis: There is no such thing, as a 'safe' person. No one is so superior, so perfect or so good -- so better than you-- that they would not be abused by that person were they in a relaitonship with him.
So he cant say you deserve it-- and you cant believe that you deserve it-- its all just not true. Abusive people are just that way- it doesnt matter who they run into.
The only difference is this: Some people decide to stay, others decide ot leave. For various reasons. So its YOUR CHOICE- the decision rests in your hands. Stay, or leave-- that is all.

Answer 3

This sounds like a rhetorical question, you know what physical abuse is. The real questions is what to do about the abuse and how do reconcile the love you have in your heart with someone who is an abuser.

There are so many details that need to be known in order to give the best answer. The simplest answer is you have to get help and local advise. I suggest making an appointment with a local shelter and discuss your options with them before making a decision. Let me hedge that advise because I don't know how severe the abuse is or the possibility of danger to your life or children, if you have any. If you are in danger, get out now!!!

Remember, no matter how much you love your partner or how much they love you in the good times, no body, no body has the right to physically abuse another human being. You might have your own bucket of problems, but it does not deserve abuse!

Answer 4

physical abuse is anything from throwing something at your wife or nearby, breaking of furniture, punching the walls, shoving her poking her or down right thrashing her. Where any of this is happening it is abuse. It is a criminal offence. Just because at times this couple may be intimate does not remove the seriousness of the offence. A man using the excuse that she is lucky he punches the wall and not her is no better than the one that does because he is still using aggression as a form of power.

Abuse comes in several forms and many woman say that the worse form is the emotional abuse that comes either on its own or in the package with physical abuse. Emotional scars remain forever. No woman should put up with such treatment EVER

Answer 5

Physical abuse is when an individual, male or female, places his/her hands on another individual, male or female. It can be as simple as a "poke" of a finger, flick of the finger, pinch, to slap, punch etc., in other words, causes any kind of physical discomfort or harm. What should any person do? Leave, go and seek out a professional. If serious, run for your life, as you may not have a life soon. File a police report, tell ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. And then, start to work on yourself, so that you are never in a situation again where you allow someone to cause this type of harm to you.

Answer 6

Any form of physical contact that causes you harm or anguish. Simple things like smacking your mate with a wet towel, even if playing is physical abuse. Something as simple as a shove is physical abuse. Locking someone is a room, not allowing to leave the premisis, withholding food or water, not giving someone meds that can not self administer ( These things also fall into the category of neglect)

Answer 7

If a woman is being abused by a man regardless whether its physical or verbal she needs to leave, the abuse almost never stops...of course, until the woman's body is found

Answer 8

In answer to your first question physical abuse is:Inflicting physical injury to someone such as punching,kicking,biting,burning,,shaking, ect.In answer to your 2nd question she should leave that relationship end it completely and walk away form the abuser.It is never ok to be abused.

Answer 9

Physical abuse is the act of mistreating someone physically; Intentionally hurting their body. I suggest you seek help, if you are a victim. There are lots of hot lines that will direct you to getting help.

Answer 10

If you are being abused and are afraid to leave you can go to your doctor and have him document any signs fo abuse and he should be able to provide you with phone numbers for "safe house" for women that are abused.If you are being abused it will not stop. Get help before you really get hurt.
