  • Physical abuse: Hitting, kicking, shoving, or any other form of physical assault.
  • Emotional abuse: Verbal threats, insults, humiliation, and intimidation.
  • Sexual abuse: Forced sexual activity or any form of sexual assault.
  • Financial abuse: Controlling finances, denying access to money, or sabotaging credit.
  • Psychological abuse: Isolation, gaslighting, or manipulating emotions.
