Through mental manipulation, some people blame themselves. Others are not aware they are being abused. Abuse is characterized as any behavior that inten­tion­ally harms or injures another person. It may take several forms, ranging from disrespect to physical or mental distress caused by another. It can happen in someone’s home, a hospital, a care facility, or a public location.

The abusers are often members of the family, partners, or trusted friends. They themselves may have survived abuse that they now inflict upon someone else. Often, the people who commit abuse are taking advantage of a special relation­ship or circumstance. Some are empowered by a group of deviant peers, perhaps at fraternity parties.
