When you are a victim in a abusive relationship it is not easy to get out, in many victims minds they feel they have let the relationship down, and that the relationship will improve or there is the fear of further violence if their partner finds out they are thinking of leaving, these or many other factors can keep someone in a relationship, feeling trapped.
This article we hope will show that help is available to you, and if you have any, your children and you can live a life free from fear and violence.

Domestic violence is not just physical violence, it can take many forms, which a person may use to control a partner, and these can be sexual, emotional, physiological, financial as well as physical.
There are many excuses for abuse, lot's of them are made up by the victim to protect their partner, or as a reason why they have not left the relationship, these can be stress, alcohol, upbringing, environmental, loss of temper, however, none of these reason or any others justify a person remaining in a abusive relationship.
If you are a victim you may be scared not just of leaving but of the repercussions to you or your partner once you do, you are not alone 1 in 4 women will suffer some sort of domestic abuse in their lifetime.
