Long Term Effects on Women Because of Domestic Violence

There are several long term effects that may occur because of experiencing domestic violence and having been in an abusive relationship. The long term effects can include physical and or mental problems when they are older. The physical problems could include arthritis, hypertension, or heart disease because of being battered. Battered women also lose their jobs, due to an illness called, absenteeism. The illness occurs after being battered. The mental health is also affected because they lose contact with friends and family because they feel ashamed that the abuse happened.
