Frustration,followed by violence,is not part of the cycle of violence.The tension-building state is also known as phase I of the cycle.The batterer expresses dissatisfaction and hostility with violent outbursts.The woman senses anger and anxiously tries to placate him.An acute battering incident is phase II of the cycle.It results in the man's uncontrollable discharge of tension toward the woman.Outbursts can last from several hours to several days and may involve kicking,punching,slapping,choking,burns,broken bones,and the use of weapons.Phase III of the cycle is sometimes referred to as the honeymoon,kindness and contrite,and loving behavior phase,during which the batterer feels remorseful and profusely apologizes.He tries to help the woman and often showers her with gifts.
