We do not talk about statistics here or describe what constitutes domestic violence or intimate partner violence (IPV). There are already plenty of resources, including many of those listed here, that can provide that data if you are interested or do not already know first-hand. Our goal, or I should say our hope, is for this post to be a place where you have access to the help and support you need or at least be able to find the educational information you are looking for.
