Mushing or gesturing physically violent acts

A passionate or spirited argument is one thing, but there’s nothing passionate about a disagreement that becomes physical. Mushing someone in the head, gesturing violent acts with the intent of intimidating, punching walls or objects in close proximity to a person, and throwing objects in an attempt to incite fear are all considered forms of abuse. There is nothing normal about it and just because these acts don’t typically result in serious bodily injury, it doesn’t mean they’re not abusive.
