It had been a previous myth for quite some time that Same-Sex couples were not drastically affected by Domestic Violence. However a recent study blew that completely out of the water. Published recently in the Journal of sex and Marital Therapy, links the added pressures and stress of normality with a heightened or equal intimate partner violence response. This is an extraordinary publication and may help solidify other areas of Same-Sex stressors for further studies.
What this may also do is suggest ways that interventions may be implemented into this population. Reducing the stressors in any relationship is key to helping intimate partner violence reach a new low over all.
