That is a complicated question to answer. Sometimes it is a cycle of violence that is learned. Sometimes it is a result of a scenario such as Kapman's Drama Triangle. The important thing to note is that it is never the victims fault.

An unhealthy relationship which usually gradually becomes fueled usually more on one side than the other but one will always suffer more, it is unstability and abusive to the one who ends up suffering.. if you feel youre in a situation like this you should try to seperate yourself from the situation as a means to see a more clarified perspective and find help.. whether that is for you both individually or together as a couple.. how ever know thatyou are not the only one and it is okay to feel like this as it is understandable and whatever role you may have in this relationship.. you can recieve help and support

Domestic violence is caused by poorly controlled anger and the desire to exert power and authority over a person. Those who engage in abusive, violent behavior may often feel as though they have no control over certain aspects of their lives. As a result, they try to over compensate by exerting control, in the form of violence, over those closest to them. Other times, domestic violence is fueled by the lack of knowledge to properly process, manage and address ones anger. When an individual fails to address his or her anger diplomatically, the next option they turn to may be violence.
