Where did anyone get this sentance from:

Definition of domestic violence:
If you are not in fear of your life, you are not suffering it.

Domestic violence, also known as domestic abuse, spousal abuse, battering, family violence, and intimate partner violence (IPV), is broadly defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors by one or both partners in an intimate relationship such as marriage, dating, family, or cohabitation.

Domestic violence, so defined, has many forms, including physical aggression or assault (hitting, kicking, biting, shoving, restraining, slapping, throwing objects), or threats thereof; sexual abuse; emotional abuse; controlling or domineering; intimidation; stalking; passive/covert abuse (e.g., neglect); and economic deprivation.

Alcohol consumption and mental illness can be co-morbid with abuse, and present additional challenges in eliminating domestic violence. Awareness, perception, definition and documentation of domestic violence differs widely from country to country, and from era to era.

Domestic violence and abuse isn’t limited to obvious physical violence. Domestic violence can also mean endangerment, criminal coercion, kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, trespassing, harassment, and stalking.

To be told to “man-up” can be (sometimes) accaptable on the internet as its strangers and banter can be mistaken for bullying but never should be said in real life to someone who is suffering in one way or the other.

It sounds like a nice idea but hard to prove.
You already get people abusing the system so it would be very difficult to convict someone because someone else said they made them cry.
The sad fact is if someone is getting phyiscaly abused you may see bruses or evidence of harm, where as if its emotional its one word against another – “house devil, street angel” springs to mind, people can seem to be the nicest people in the world until you see what happens behind closed doors.
If it is emotional abuse then its probably harder to walk away as you have no self esteem and think who would beleive you, and if they suceeded in belittling you that much you’d be convinced that noone would care.

I think that information about ALL types of abuse should be made more clear – advise and support should be giving to all and people should be reminded that no matter how bad you think you’ve got it there is always a way out.
