I see that domestic violence can include a child to a parent or a grandparent, aunt or uncle. It's familial violence, whereas intimate partner violence is between a couple who is intimate. There's also coercive control. I like the three terms, because coercion is that silent killer, that silent violence. Many people are unaware that it's wrong. They think, unless they've been hit, kicked or spat upon, that it hasn't happened, but, in fact, it has.
