Welcome to episode 2. In this episode, we discuss the kinds of intimate partner violence that we noticed in Surviving R Kelly and in our lives. 

IPV looks different in each relationship. It happens across racial, social, sex and economic lines. Most abusive relationships have one thing in common, the abusive partner has many ways they try to gain and maintain control.  

Abusive relationships don’t just happen. Abusers put in a lot of time gaining and maintaining control. The abuser often has often spent hours of phone calls, texts and face to face conversations getting to know the person they are abusing. 


Types of Abuse 
- Physical Abuse 
- Emotional Abuse 
- Sexual Abuse & Coercion 
- Reproductive Coercion l
- Financial Abuse 
- Digital Abuse
