What is Domestic Abuse?
Domestic abuse encompasses a range of abusive behaviours which are used by an abuse partner (or ex-partner) to maintain power and control over you.
Who suffers Domestic Abuse?
People who suffer domestic abuse, rarely experience one incident. Once begun, the abuse and violence will repeat itself. Domestic abuse that causes serious injury is mainly committed by men against women.
Leaving and Moving On
Making a decision to leave a violent and abusive partner can be the beginning of a long process. Remember that you do not have to go through it alone.
