One should never accept domestic violence. In case you find or already know someone who is a victim of domestic violence, do look for the below mentioned signs to find out.
1. The victim usually has an inclination towards loved ones, and the abuser tries to keep the victim around them. And, in case the victim is unable to reach his or her parents or family, they look for a person with a close relationship. That’s when the culprit gets into the scene.
2. A good romantic relationship, when suddenly gets distracted from their former lives due to any third person, the things change so much that it becomes an abusive relationship. Also, the abuser stays out of the violence when someone is around or is noticing them.
