Domestic Abuse
Are you experiencing domestic abuse or violence?
Does your partner:
· isolate you from friends and family?
· deprive you of food or heating?
· monitor your time?
· check up on what you do you online?
· take control over aspects of your everyday life, telling you where you can go, who you can see, what you can wear and when you can sleep?
· stop you from getting medical help or support?
· repeatedly put you down, such as saying you’re worthless?
· humiliate or degrade you?
· control your money and access to your home?
· make threats or intimidate you?
If so, there are many ways to seek help. You are not alone.
