Abstract
The case study discussed in this article is one of a female educator who suffered intimate partner violence (IPV) at the hands of her husband for 18 months before she escaped. During the time period in which she endured physical violence, verbal abuse, and emotional and psychological trauma, she chose to remain silent for fear that “telling” might bring her further imminent bodily harm. She had been promised that death would be her fate, if she chose disobedience or did not remain silent. The case study examines the behavior that she exhibited that impacted her work performance. The findings show that her behaviors highly corresponded with those found in the research. The objective is to help educators recognize some of the signs of abuse so that they may help victims in the workplace.
