SOCIAL ISOLATION – keep to themselves, do not invite others into the home. Abusers threaten
with more harm if they reveal the secret. Children keep the secret out of FEAR

control over the victim. Abuser is only one who makes decisions, spends money or spends time
outside the home. Abuser belittles and blames victim by threats and emotional manipulation. If
abuser perceives victim independence or disobedience, violence usually escalates.

ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE – Alcoholism associated with family violence. Partners who abuse
alcohol are like to abuse their partners. Alcohol diminishes inhibitions and makes violent
behavior more intense and frequent. Alcohol is factor in acquaintance rape or date rape

, The use of Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) “date rape drugs” used to subdue potential victims.
Women think of safety more than men

Intergenerational Transmission Process – shows patterns of violence are perpetuated from one
generation to the next through role modeling and social learning. Family Violence is a learned
behavior pattern.
