15. Cycle of Domestic Violence
The relationship usually starts of in what we refer to as the honeymoon stage. Both partners are happy and loving towards each other. This is a very exciting time and both partners show off their best attributes at this stage. The couple might spend heaps of time together getting to know each other and investing in the relationship.
After a while they might start having small arguments and things might not be going as well. This is called the tension or build up stage. The other person may become picky about everything and make the other person feel like they are walking on egg shells.
The tension gradually leads to the explosion. The explosion doesn’t necessarily have to be physically violent it could be a verbal attack full of emotional abuse or accusations about things that aren't true. It can be in any form of abuse.
Then the cycle reverts back to the honeymoon stage. The abuser may buy gifts or make promises that it will never happen again, but the cycle continues….
