Domestic abuse is any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence, or abuse between anyone who has been ‘personally connected’. This includes current or ex partners, family members, regardless of gender or sexuality.
This includes hitting, slapping, kicking, biting, punching, strangling, and using weapons.
This includes putting someone down, isolating them from friends and family, threatening them, and making them feel worthless.
This includes making decisions about someone's life without them, monitoring their movements, and controlling their finances.
This includes preventing someone from working or having access to money, and controlling their spending.
If you are experiencing domestic abuse, it is important to know that you are not alone. There is help available, and you don't have to suffer in silence.
