What is Battering?    
  Battering is a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another    
 

person with whom an intimate partner relationship is or has been shared through fear and

    
  intimidation, often including the threat or use of violence. Battering happens when one person    
  believes that they are entitled to control another.
