Domestic violence?

Question

Is it domestic violence if these things have occurred, I've made a list:
Spitting in someone's face
Putting hands around their throat
Verbal abuse
Gaslighting
Emotional abuse
Name calling
Kicking someone
Hitting their head onto the floor
Pulling their hair
These things are not happening anymore because I left the relationship, but I still have the aftermath of all that to recover from, which I know I'll be fine in the end. I'm stronger than I think, BUT how many of these signs I have listed points to DV? Just knowing that I can 'label' what I went through will help me to get things straight in my head, help me understand a bit more that it wasn't my fault. These things happened over a long period of time and I feel to blame because there was always an argument before hand, so I've got it in my head that I must have provoked all this by saying mean things during arguments, so maybe it's my fault and I have no right to call it domestic violence when I'm just as bad?

Answer

All of these...

Answer

All of the above. Google the power and control wheel. Power and control is the goal of the abuser, vs a couple may have problems and issues but both people are equal partners. In an abusive relationship, one person is constantly trying to gain power and control in the relationship using various tactics....physical abuse,threats, financial control, verbal abuse, jealousy, isolation, blaming her for the abuse etc. Everything youve described is abusive.

Answer

Every single one! I’m proud of you for leaving. My career used to be helping DV victims so I’m available if you wanna message me. Stay strong it takes most women 9 times to successfully leave that situation bc they are brainwashed to believe they could have changed their behavior to make their partner treat them differently.

Answer

This is very clearly domestic violence. All of it!

Answer

All of these are part of domestic violence. No matter the argument, no one should EVER do any of these things to someone they supposedly love. You would be right to label all of these things as abuse. Remember this: all couples argue/have disagreements and working things through can be healthy, but not all couples argue with violence or abuse. It is never healthy to introduce violence/abuse into a relationship.

Answer

These are all signs of domestic violence. 
And it’s not your fault. We as humans unfortunately are not perfect and can say mean things in the heat of the moment. But to react and behave like that during arguments is definitely signs of DV. I’m so sorry you went through that.

Answer

Yes

Answer

Yes all of these are domestic violence and abuse
