This includes spouses or former spouses, those involved in a dating relationship, married or blood-related adults. Any threatening or violent act could be considered domestic violence.

Domestic violence is a violent act or conflict that happens between family members or members of a household. This can include physical harm, sexual abuse, or the threat of harm/abuse that instills fear in the victim. Domestic violence can happen between spouses, ex-spouses, romantic partners, or blood-related adults.

Any form of abuse, threat or danger to another family or household member could be considered domestic violence. Domination, intimidation and manipulation can also be considered domestic violence. All such instances can be extremely destructive and dangerous. Ignoring domestic violence is also extremely dangerous. Many victims of domestic violence are too ashamed or afraid to get help and report the abuse. However, this can lead to long-term abuse, emotional trauma, or worse. It can also have a traumatizing affect on any children in the household.
