HOW TO SPOT THE SIGNS

Abuse isn't just physical, it comes in many forms. Being threatened or forced to do things counts as abuse.

Abuse in relationships can happen to anyone, regardless of the type of relationship.
It can harm you physically and emotionally, and leave you feeling isolated and lonely.
