So in essence, in situations of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE we have a person with an evil manner,

who lives by codes/rules of their own making
which are their own evil procedures and conduct for interacting with others.
This in turn inflicts a high cost upon the one who is suffering under the abuser's hands.
