There are different forms of abuse in a relationship, though they usually overlap to some degree.

The first is physical abuse, where the abusive partner will physically harm the victim as a means of controlling them, or in the most severe cases for their own amusement.

Second is emotional abuse, where they do things to cause the victim emotional distress. this one is the most complicated and can take a great number of forms.

Third is financial abuse, where the abuser restricts the victims access to any form of money, controls what food or clothing is bought, what bills are paid, what companies various utilities are purchased from, etc.

I believe there are a few other forms, but those are the big 3.
