Domestic abuse isn't something that happens as a one-off, and it's more than just a general argument - it is something that happens constantly.

Domestic abuse usually happens between adults who live together, or are in a relationship together. It is when one adult (usually the man) bullies & controls another adult (usually the woman). This can be physically hurting them, making them scared, or hurting their feelings all of the time. Sometimes, women can do this to men as well.

Scared, sad, worried, confused, angry, alone and that you can't talk to anyone about things. You may feel things are your fault and that you can't do anything to stop the domestic abuse.

Always remember, if there is domestic abuse at home it is NOT your fault... the only person who is wrong is the adult who is being the bully.

Talking to someone can help you feel better about things and help you find a solution. You can talk to your mum, family or adults you trust (like a teacher, youth worker or Doctor). If you don't feel like you can tell any of these people, or if you have told someone and they haven't done anything about it, you can ring, or you can go on their website to chat or email - they are there to help you and give advice.
