A very alarming problem that influences many people and families all throughout the United Kingdom is domestic violence. The several facets of domestic violence – including its definition, effects, and help for those in need – are examined in this manual.
Sometimes referred to as domestic abuse, domestic violence is a recurring pattern of behaviour whereby one partner uses power and control over the other. It can show up as physical, emotional, psychological, financial, and sexual abuse among other things. Such actions are meant to control and threaten, therefore trapping victims in a traumatising cycle.
The first step in getting help is realising you are being abused. These symptoms might include emotional manipulation, financial control, isolation from friends and family, or inexplicable injuries. Remember, domestic violence is never the victim’s fault; the abuser bears full responsibility.
There are several tools accessible within the United Kingdom to assist people dealing with domestic violence. These services cover legal help catered to different requirements, counselling, and emergency refuge lodging. For individuals considering to end an abusive relationship, our divorce law services can provide expert guidance.
