What is family and domestic violence?
Violence and abuse comes in many forms. It is controlling behaviour that aims to dominate the other person physically, psychologically, emotionally, socially, sexually or financially.
If you alter behavior because you are frightened of how the person will react, it is likely that you are being abused.
