Actually, abuse comes in many forms. Physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, etc. Basically, if your partner is doing something to you that you do not like (even after your attempts to communicate how you feel about this behavior), then it is abusive to you. Any form of violence, repeated threats, constantly monitoring your whereabouts, repeated accusations of betrayal.... the list is way to long to post here. If you feel like you are being abused, then you are. hitting,spancking,throwing,smacking,yelling very loudly in the ear

Is there a relationship between abusive and alcoholic personalities?

Yes, there is a strong correlation between substance abuse, rckless behaviors, and abusive conduct. Hi! Oh, definitely. Even if the person comes from a home where there is alcohol abuse and that person doesn't even really drink! But because they witnessed the abuse that goes along with the drinking. I believe it is called "dry alcoholic". But if the person in the relationship is abusive and also an alcoholic, definitely there is a relationship. They drink because they are trying to anesthesize their pain. Yes! Often abusers abuse alcohol/drugs to "deal" with their problems. They might even blame you for their drinking/drug use, or at least my abuser did. "If you did/didn't do this/that I wouldn't have to drink to feel better!" Ugh.
