2. Physical abuse starts off with little things such as. Shoving, pushing, yelling, controlling, grabbing on to you to tightly, kicks you, and etc. Little things like these are the start of physical abuse. They start of with those small things. And then they become bigger. The next step starts off with, slapping, kicking, throwing something at you, grabbing you tightly and then letting go. usually saying sorry and forgetting about it is also a sign of a starting abuse. You let them do it they tell you they are sorry and you forgive them. Its like a sign of them controlling you, and that makes the person think its ok because next time he/she does it they will know that you will forgive them all over again. Then it becomes a cycle. and when you get use to it and he does as well that is where the actual abuse comes out from. Punching, knife on your throat, leaving marks and bruises on your body.

3. Some abuser abuses because they have so much anger and hate towards others. Sometimes they are just the jealous type that who ever they are with they should not talk to anyone look at anyone or even say hi to anyone because he/she might get offended. sometimes these people have been through abuse themselves and they believe that it is right to hit others or as well they might seen someone doing it constantly and thought it was right to do so.

4. Its common for someone to stay with the person they love who abuses them. Its like a love hate thing. At times most people choose to stay because they are either afraid, think they are in love, or they believe they get abused because its all there fault. some times the abuser blames the person for things and in there mind because they love them in there mind they believe that it actually is there fault.
5. When getting out of an abusive relationship you first have to seek for help, save some money, and proof that you have been abused. Restraining orders may help as well but not all the time. Seeking for help and finding a place to stay some where far away from the abuser.
