A person that is constantly taking ridicule, being sworn at, told they are not good for much and their partner gives them no encouragement or doesn't hold them at the same level as they are is a victim just as much as someone mugging you. The same goes for physical abuse such as punching, hitting, throwing the person around the room, threatening with a weapon, etc. We don't always need physical wounds to be a victim of trauma.
