my own definition of abuse is simple...abuse is defined as the systematic pattern of behaviors in a relationship that are used to gain or maintain power and control over another. Abuse maybe continuous or it maybe a single incident if assault.
The definition of abuse against women is a pattern of behavior in which physical violence and/or emotional coercion is used to gain or maintain power or control in a relationship. A single incident of assault also constitutes abuse
