What is domestic violence/intimate partner violence?

DV/IPV is rooted in a coercive pattern of power and control where one person in a past or present intimate relationship uses coercive and abusive tactics to control the other person. Tactics can include intimidation, threats, using children, psychological abuse (gaslighting), economic abuse, isolation, minimizing, denying and blaming the abuse on the victim and physical and sexual abuse. Please take a look at this YouTube video for more information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX5ijOq3mTU

What does the pattern look like in domestic violence relationships?

While each relationship is different, many survivors/victims of DV/IPV tell of three phases that occur in their abusive relationship. 1. Tension Building: the survivor can see their partner getting stressed and may try a variety of things to manage the tension with their partner because they know what can/will happen next. 2. Abusive Episode: the abusive partner may use a variety of coercive tactics to scare, manipulate and physically and sexually abuse the survivor. 3. Honeymoon: this is the time where the person using abusive tactics apologizes, promises to get help, blames drugs or alcohol for their behavior and blames their partner for the abuse. This cycle or pattern repeats itself, but the tactics may change.

Safety Planning

It is important that survivors/victims of DV/IPV think about their safety and the safety of their children. Creating a safety plan can help you think through how to be as safe as possible, exit strategies, things you need to take with you when/if you leave and much more.
