Answer to Question 1

The victim not only wants to stop the violence but also longs to belong to a family. Loyalty and strong emotional ties to the abuser are powerful opponents to the victim's desire to be safe and protected. Affection and attention may coexist with violence and abuse. A recurring cycle may begin, whereby mounting tension, characterized by fear and anticipation, ultimately gives way to more abusive behavior. A period of reconciliation may follow, with increased affection and attention. Children are always hopeful that the abuse will not recur. The intensity of the violence tends to increase over time, although in some cases physical violence may decrease or even stop altogether. Abusive behavior may vary throughout the relationship, taking verbal, sexual, emotional, or physical forms, but the adult's abuse of power and control remains the central issue.
