Information about physical abuse
Physical abuse can be a symptom of an abusive relationship which can involve slapping, punching, burning or cutting. Abusive relationships are based on secrecy; often the abuser will inflict injuries on hidden areas of the body.
Causes:
There is not one cause of physical abuse, but there are factors believed to influence the actions of an abuser. Theses include suffering physical, emotional or sexual abuse particularly in their childhood. Using drugs or alcohol abuse can also contribute as well as jealously and mistrust in a relationship.
