Abusive Relationships

Abuse can be:
• emotional: being ignored, excluded or blamed
• physical: being repeatedly hit or not cared for
• sexual: being forced to take part in sexual activities in person or through the internet or mobile phones

If you are a victim of abuse such as domestic violence or sexual exploitation you may not think yourself as such. You may see your abuser as your partner. You may want to get your partner in trouble or cause your partner to become angry or breaky up with you.

It isn’t your fault if you are being abused. You shouldn’y feel guilty, scared or ashamed.
