What is Domestic Abuse?

 

Domestic Abuse is any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality

 

It arises from the misuse of power & control by one person over another. It is rarely a one-off event, but tends to escalate in frequency and severity over time.

 

Abuse in the home is more widespread than you think. It affects men & women of all ages, ethnicities, orientations and income levels, regardless of ability. 

 

It is not easy to accept that a loved one can behave so aggressively and because you cannot explain the behaviour, you assume that it is your fault.  You are not to blame for your partner’s behaviour.

Everyone has the right to live life free from threats, violence and abuse and help is available.

 

You are NOT alone!
