Physical assault is when an individual or a group attacks a person physically, with or without the use of a weapon, or threatens to hurt that person.
The first form of non-physical domestic violence is emotional abuse. Emotional abuse can take many forms, including verbal insults, intimidation, and isolation from family and friends. Sufferers of emotional abuse may suffer from low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression and may feel trapped in their relationship.
