Domestic Violence

There are lots of different reasons why people stay in abusive relationships.

You might feel frightened to leave, as you worry that the person abusing you will try and stop you and become even more violent. You might also rely on the person abusing you for practical or financial support, or you worry about losing your home and access to your children. You may enjoy the good times you have with them and keep hoping it won’t happen again.

Never forget that it is a crime for someone you know to abuse you in your own home or anywhere else — whether they are your partner, a family member or someone you share your home with. Whatever the person abusing you might say, physical and emotional violence like this is never your fault.

Nobody has the right to abuse you in this way. You may be made to feel responsible and guilty for the abuse, but the source of the problem is the abuser, not you.

Signs

You’re becoming a lot more critical of yourself — thinking that you always doing things wrong, are unattractive/unlovable or unable to support yourself or do things you used to do
You give up on your own opinions and think your partner is right about everything
You’re feeling more stressed or worried all the time; you feel nauseous or have bad butterflies. Sometimes stress can also stop us eating and sleeping properly, or cause us to have headaches
You have that ‘dreaded’ feeling more often
You’re scared of how your partner will react to a situation
You avoid saying something because you don’t want to upset your partner
You feel scared when your partner is angry because you can’t predict their behaviour
You’re feeling a pressure to change who you are or move the relationship further than you want to
You feel like you’re walking on eggshells
You’re staying in more and seeing less of family and friends to avoid arguments with your partner
