This recording is not sufficent evidence unless she has some bruises to show for. Talking disrespectfully and someone screaming in an audio recording is not a crime however it will be a strong indication for a crime if she has some other proof of abuse.

Domestic abuse is a complex issue. Ususally abusers don't start the physical abuse right away. They first strip their victim of confidence and isolate them from their friends and family. Usually they try to establish an economical dependence too. For example by buying a house toghether in the middle of nowhere. There's usually heavy psychological abuse undermining the victims self assertion and convincing them that they don't deserve to be helped, that the abuser just has their best intersts at heart and that it's their own fault when they get abused. A lot of abusers have an unconcious ability to brainwash people like that, likely because they were abused themselves as children and picked up these behavioural patterns. You'll notice that this piece of shit used that exact same rhethoric in his 'apology' post on instagram. 'She started it.' 'I did what I had to do.'
If a victim doesn't leave after the first physical assault happens, it's usually very hard to break through the vicious circle of abuse and self blame that victims typically go through. It can take years to fully recover from shit like that, if you do get out. |
Which is why I think its very important for partners not to be dependant financially on each other.
