Physical, sexual and/or emotional abuse is commonplace

"One of the most painful aspects of being abused by a man you love is a feeling of being alone with the problem. That emotional isolation often leads to a feeling of "I must be crazy." Fortunately, this situation is changing as more people are learning that abuse of women by their male partners is widespread. Emotional abuse is even more prevalent." - Ginny NiCarthy
