Women’s Aid define abuse as: If a partner or an ex makes you feel scared, controlled or intimidated, you may be experiencing domestic abuse.  There are many different forms of abuse.  It can be physical, and leave visible marks, or it can be emotional, and have impacts that can’t be seen by other people.  All types of abuse are damaging, and nobody deserves to be treated in that way.
