If you are suffering from domestic violence, please call the 24 Hour National Domestic Violence Helpline

There are laws to protect you, and there are people who can deal confidentially with your case.
You can report this type of behaviour to the police. Most police stations have a team who are specially trained to deal with crimes involving domestic violence.
Admitting to yourself and others that you are experiencing domestic violence can be very difficult, but it is an important step towards getting protection for yourself and any children.
It is important to remember that it is not your fault and that anyone can experience it.
