What is domestic violence

Page content

Does your partner or former partner:

• hit you?
• threaten or hurt you, your children, your family, your friends or themselves?
• call you names?
• have moods that ruin your homelife?
• take your money?
• force you to have sex?
• frighten your children?

Do you:

• spend all your time walking on eggshells and trying to make things better?
• feel lonely, anxious, depressed, confused or scared?
• feel embarrassed or ashamed?
• change your behaviour so your partner doesn't get angry?
