Are My Actions Considered Abuse? The answers to the question "what is abuse?" can be surprising. Many people assume that the term "abuse" only refers to a physical assault that ends in injuries such as broken bones. The answer is actually more complicated. Abuse often has many faces in a complex relationship - physical, emotional, financial, verbal and sexual. Take an honest look at the relationship. If you see yourself and your partner in these checklists, seek help. You can change the current dynamic.
