Sometimes it helps to read other people’s stories. These case studies of domestic abuse highlight some real stories.

I eventually became too afraid to do anything or make any decisions because I knew they’d be wrong, and I would be threatened.

He held me down and shouted at me and when I struggled to get loose, he hit me.

I was not aware that domestic abuse included sexual abuse.

I felt worthless and so guilty for letting him into my life in the first place – like it was my fault!

My partner was very insecure about my past relationships and became jealous of anyone he thought might be ‘a threat’.
