Domestic abuse

It can include violence perpetrated by a son, daughter or any other person who has a close or blood relationship with the victim/survivor.

Sufferers may experience a combination of abusive behaviour, for example:

• physical violence;
• verbal threats and put downs;
• psychological and emotional abuse such as isolation from loved ones or humiliation;
• sexual violence such as rape;
• financial control such as withholding money.

Both men and women may suffer domestic abuse. It's important to remember that it's not your fault; its the abuser who has the problem - not you.
