 You are not alone. You can get help.
Domestic violence and abuse is a crime. You do not have to put up with it.
These are just some of the examples of cruelty and abuse in a relationship:
· violence
· threats to you, your family, your pets or your possessions
· being forced to do things
· being frightened to say "no"
· being frightened to say what you think
· feeling that you are "walking on eggshells" all the time
· being watched and checked up on
· having your freedom unreasonably restricted
· stopping you from seeing your friends and family
· being made to feel small
· being made to feel too tired, too depressed, too frightened to fight back or leave.
