Has your partner engaged in shoving, slapping, hair pulling, pinching, restraining, shaking, throwing, biting, kicking, hitting with the fist or an object, burning, poisoning, applying force to the throat, cutting off the air supply, holding the head under water, or using a weapon?
Common conclusions
Based on your answer, it is unlikely that you suffer from spouse or partner physical violence.
Unfortunately, you are displaying the signs typically seen among individuals who suffer from spouse or partner physical violence. Seeking medical attention is crucial in this case. Not only will you suffer physical damage, such as bruises, injuries, and fractures. You will also be very likely to develop mental health problems related to stress, chronic pain or bowel problems. Partner violence has many negative outcomes for the victim. To end spouse or partner physical violence, identification of the problem and an acknowledgment of signs is needed. Remember that there are different ways to receive support when you find yourself in such a situation. Don’t hesitate to ask for help.
