Abuse physical or emotional can happen in any form of relationship. Be it romantic or a friendship. And it can happen to anyone. They can sometimes be hard to identify or hard to get out of because the person being abused because they feel that they are at fault, can change the person abusing them or just scared to leave the relationship. If you can help them or encourage them to get out themselves.
Abusers can become most violent when they fear they are going to lose control of the relationship. Lashing out or promising they will change in the future. They can have a complete change of personality and become the person they were at the beginning of the relationship. Anything to get back into a position of control.
