You may wonder what causes the abuse or what you can do to make your partner stop. You may feel that he/she controls your life and keeps you isolated. You don’t know when he/she will abuse you again or when it will stop, or if it will ever stop, but you live in constant fear of it. You may never have told anyone because you feel embarrassed, ashamed, and guilty about the abuse. Maybe you don’t know where to start or with whom?

It is important that you know your options because some people may refuse to believe you or will not think what is happening to you is wrong. Some may even tell you that the abuse is your fault. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.

• You do not deserve to be abused
• You are not the cause of someone else’s violent behaviour
• You have the right to expect respect
• You have the right to make your own choice

If your partner abuses you, the information on this site can help you.
