Tragically, a bad breakup frequently ends in violence. When this occurs, if often requires the intervention of the courts to protect the parties. Domestic violence can be blatant- such as one person choking or punching the other. It can also be more subtle, such as isolating a partner and depriving them of financial control.
The Cycle of Domestic Violence
Your partner is charming and accommodating one moment and has an explosive temper the next. Your partner is not mean and nasty all the time. Afterall, if this was the case, why would you bother staying with him or her?
Victims of domestic violence hang onto the potential of their partner- the person he or she is when at their best. Victims forgive- and often forget- all the hurtful things in between. Like most things in life, domestic violence comes in a cycle:

The Honeymoon Phase
Your partner is loving and attentive. He or she is exactly the person you know and love. He or she is the perfect partner.
The Tension Phase
Your partner is agitated and irritable. Nothing you do will please him or her. You feel a build up of anger and resentment in your partner.
The Explosive Phase
Your partner becomes violently angry. Sometimes it even becomes physical.
The push your boundaries phase
Your partner’s anger has pushed you to the limits. You do not believe you can take any more. He or she tells you that you are crazy and everything is your fault. You know it is not true and you cannot take any more.
The breakup phase
You have had enough. You cannot believe you have put up with this for so long. You decide to leave your partner and you begin plotting your exit. Maybe you even leave the house and decide never to go back.
The apology phase
Your partner tracks you down and apologizes. Your partner tells you he or she is sorry, but it is your fault. If only you had done X, Y, or Z better, your partner would not have exploded. You believe the story.
The make up phase
You decide to give your spouse just one more chance. Perhaps you were too hard on your partner. Perhaps he or she will change this time. Perhaps you can do things better and avoid another fight. This will be the last time it happens. You decide to go back to your partner.
Repeat the Cycle
The cycle begins all over again. You are happy for awhile, then tension builds up again. Your partner explodes and this time pushes your boundaries just a little bit further than the last time.
Confusion
After being in the cycle for any amount of time, you lose track of reality. Up is down, right is left. You feel crazy. Everything is your fault. You have lost your friends and family. You are isolated and helpless. How do you get out?
