People who abuse their partners come from every part of society. They can seem like good neighbours, co-workers, friends, partners, or parents. But they might believe that they have a right to hit and control their partners. They might also be very jealous and possessive.<\/p>\n

Abusers often blame their partner for their actions or make excuses, such as feeling under pressure at work. Some abusers think that it is okay to deal with their anger by being violent.<\/p>\n

They might feel guilty when they see the damage or injuries they have caused. This does not excuse them for what they have done or stop them from doing it again. When they are not being abusive, or are in front of others, they can be very loving and caring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-46048","publications-page","type-publications-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nWhat kind of person abuses his partner? - CLEO (Community Legal Education Ontario \/ \u00c9ducation juridique communautaire Ontario)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cleo.on.ca\/en\/publications-page\/what-kind-of-person-abuses-his-partner\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"What kind of person abuses his partner? - CLEO (Community Legal Education Ontario \/ \u00c9ducation juridique communautaire Ontario)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"People who abuse their partners come from every part of society.
