Domestic violence against women: Recognize patterns, seek help
From: Mayo Clinic
Your partner apologizes and says the hurtful behavior won't happen again — but you fear it will. At times you wonder whether you're imagining the abuse, yet the emotional or physical pain you feel is real. If this sounds familiar, you might be experiencing domestic violence.
Domestic violence — also called intimate partner violence — occurs between people in an intimate relationship. Domestic violence can take many forms, including emotional, sexual and physical abuse and threats of abuse. Abuse by a partner can happen to anyone, but domestic violence is most often directed toward women. Domestic violence can happen in heterosexual and same-sex relationships.
Abusive relationships always involve an imbalance of power and control. An abuser uses intimidating, hurtful words and behaviors to control a partner.
It might not be easy to identify domestic violence at first. While some relationships are clearly abusive from the outset, abuse often starts subtly and gets worse over time. You might be experiencing domestic violence if you're in a relationship with someone who:
· Calls you names, insults you or puts you down
· Prevents or discourages you from going to work or school or seeing family members or friends
· Tries to control how you spend money, where you go, what medicines you take or what you wear
· Acts jealous or possessive or constantly accuses you of being unfaithful
· Gets angry when drinking alcohol or using drugs
· Threatens you with violence or a weapon
· Hits, kicks, shoves, slaps, chokes or otherwise hurts you, your children or your pets
· Forces you to have sex or engage in sexual acts against your will
· Blames you for his or her violent behavior or tells you that you deserve it
Break the cycle
If you're in an abusive situation, you might recognize this pattern:
· Your abuser threatens violence.
· Your abuser strikes.
· Your abuser apologizes, promises to change and offers gifts.
· The cycle repeats itself.
The longer you stay in an abusive relationship, the greater the physical and emotional toll. You might become depressed and anxious, or you might begin to doubt your ability to take care of yourself. You might feel helpless or paralyzed.
Don't take the blame
You may not be ready to seek help because you believe you're at least partially to blame for the abuse in the relationship. Reasons may include:
· Your partner blames you for the violence in your relationship. Abusive partners rarely take responsibility for their actions.
· Your partner only exhibits abusive behavior with you. Abusers are often concerned with outward appearances and may appear charming and stable to those outside of your relationship. This may cause you to believe that his or her actions can only be explained by something you've done.
· Therapists and health care providers who see you alone or with your partner haven't detected a problem. If you haven't told your health care provider about the abuse, they may only take note of unhealthy patterns in your thinking or behavior. This can lead to a misdiagnosis. For example, survivors of intimate partner violence may develop symptoms that resemble chronic disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or fibromyalgia. Exposure to intimate partner violence also increases your risk of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
· You have acted out verbally or physically against your abuser, yelling, pushing or hitting your partner during conflicts. You may worry that you are abusive, but it's much more likely that you acted in self-defense or intense emotional distress. Your abuser may use such incidents to manipulate you, describing them as proof that you are the abusive partner.
If you're having trouble identifying what's happening, take a step back and look at larger patterns in your relationship. Then review the signs of domestic violence. In an abusive relationship, the person who routinely uses these behaviors is the abuser. The person on the receiving end is being abused.

For example, survivors of intimate partner violence may develop symptoms that resemble chronic disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or fibromyalgia. Exposure to intimate partner violence also increases your risk of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
单独看诊您或看诊您和您伴侣的治疗师和医生没有发现问题。如果您没有告诉医生或其他医务人员虐待情况，他们可能只会注意到您不健康的思维或行为模式，从而导致误诊。例如，亲密伴侣暴力的幸存者可能出现类似人格障碍的症状。承受亲密伴侣暴力还增加心理健康状况风险，如抑郁症、焦虑和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。

· You have acted out verbally or physically against your abuser, yelling, pushing or hitting your partner during conflicts. You may worry that you are abusive, but it's much more likely that you acted in self-defense or intense emotional distress. Your abuser may use such incidents to manipulate you, describing them as proof that you are the abusive partner.
您已经在冲突过程中言语或肢体对抗施虐者、吼叫、推搡或殴打。您可能担心自己施虐，但更可能出于自卫或是强烈的负性情绪。施虐者可能利用这些事情来操控您，把它们描述成您是施虐一方的证据。

He said the election had been rigged.
他说选举被人操纵了。
📍此前，在故意改低女生成绩 东京医科大学被曝操控男女录取比例一文中，纽约时报的标题就用了rig这个词：Japanese Medical School Accused of Rigging Admissions to Keep Women Out. 操纵录取结果 rig admissions.
If you're having trouble identifying what's happening, take a step back and look at larger patterns in your relationship. Then review the signs of domestic violence. In an abusive relationship, the person who routinely uses these behaviors is the abuser. The person on the receiving end is being abused.
如果您难以确定发生了什么，退一步，看看更大型的人际关系。然后，回顾家庭暴力的迹象。在虐待关系中，经常使用这些行为的人就是施虐者。接受这些行为的人正在被虐待。
