Phases

Phase 1 Accumulation of tension


The dynamics of domestic violence exists as a cycle that goes through three phases:As the relationship continues, demand increases and the stress.There is an increase in aggressive behavior, more usually at objects to the couple. For example, slamming doors, throwing objects, breaking things.Violent behavior is reinforced by the release of tension after the violence.Violence moves from things to the couple and may be an increased verbal abuse and physical abuse.The couple try to modify their behavior to avoid violence. For example, each time keeping the house cleaner, quieter boys, etc..The physical and verbal abuse continues.The woman begins to feel responsible for the abuse.The violent becomes obsessively jealous and tries to control everything you can: time and behavior of women (how they dress, where to go, who you are, etc.).The violent attempts to isolate the victim from family and friends. You can tell, for example, that if you love do not need anyone else, or that outsiders are of wood, or you fill your head, or are so crazy.This phase differs depending on the case. The duration can be weeks, days, months or years.Becomes shorter with the passage of time.


PHASE 2. ACUTE EPISODE OF VIOLENCE


Appears the need to download the accumulated tensionsThe abuser makes a choice about their violence.Choose time and place for the episode, made a conscious choice about what body part hit and how you will do.As a result of the episode the tension and stress disappear on the abuser. If he shows police intervention calm and relaxed, while the woman appears confused and hysterical because of the violence suffered.


PHASE 3. STAGE CALM, REPENTANCE OR HONEYMOON


It is characterized by a period of calm, nonviolent and tokens of love and affection.At this stage, it may happen that the striker takes over part of the responsibility for the acute episode, giving the couple the hope of a change in the situation in the future. They act as if nothing had happened, they promise to seek help, they promise not to do, etc..If there is no intervention and the relationship continues, there is great potential for violence then escalated and its severity increases.Unless the batterer receives help learning appropriate methods to manage your stress, this stage will only last a while and begin again the cycle that feeds itself.After a while the first phase again and it all starts again.The abusive man does not heal by itself, must be pursued. If the wife stays with him, the cycle will begin again and again, each time with more violence.

Introduction

Introduction

Domestic Violence; It's EVERYBODY'S Business.
Please join us in supporting Domestic Violence Awareness!

Domestic violence should not happen to anybody. Ever. Period. But it does - and when it does, there is help. Maybe you have lived with abuse, maybe it happened just once; maybe you work or live next to someone who is being abused right now. Whoever you are, this book can show you how and where to get help.

In 1994, 1995, and again in 2000, Michigan changed the laws that deal with domestic violence to make it easier for the victims of abuse to get protection through the legal system.

We have tried to include information to help you get support and plan for your safety including resources to the best and most affordable divorce attorneys in Detroit and other Michigan locations.

If this booklet applies to you, you just need to remember two things: first, abuse is never okay; second, you are not alone. Help is yours for the asking.  Your safety as well as the ones attached to you is a priority.

If you know someone whom you think is being abused - a friend, family member, co-worker, client, patient or parishioner - please consider contacting one of the agencies listed below to discuss ways to safely help them.
