Domestic violence and substance abuse are two interrelated and complex issues that can have devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities. When these two issues coexist, they can create a dangerous and volatile situation, putting the victim and others at risk of harm.  Here is a helpful guide about the dangerous relationship between domestic violence and addiction. 

Domestic violence and sexual abuse in a relationship can happen to anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. These forms of abuse involve the use of physical, sexual, or emotional violence to control or manipulate a partner. It can include behaviors such as intimidation, isolation, and financial control. 

 Domestic violence and financial abuse is a form of control and manipulation where an abuser exploits the financial resources of their partner to gain power and maintain dominance within the relationship. It involves tactics such as restricting access to money, withholding financial information, and sabotaging employment or educational opportunities. By limiting the victim's financial independence, the abuser traps them in a cycle of dependency, making it difficult for them to escape the abusive situation.
