Domestic abuse is any behaviour that threatens, sexually assaults, harasses, physically attacks, controls, intimidates, or psychologically, emotionally, or financially abuses another person. It can happen between intimate partners, people who live in the same household, or family members.
Domestic abuse is rarely a one-time incident. It tends to get worse and happen more often over time, sometimes ending in death.
If you are abusive to the people you love and care about, there are agencies that can help you break the cycle of abuse.
Blaming someone else for your behaviour or actions is abuse. It takes courage and strength to admit that you need help. You can choose to acknowledge your responsibility and choose to stop.
