The nature of an abusive relationship means that domestic abuse is often unseen. It is hidden away behind closed doors, often appearing invisible to loved ones or outsiders. Victims of abuse can be misled into thinking that they are trapped forever with no safe way out of the relationship. There are resources within the UK system that are designed to support victims of domestic abuse but sometimes knowing how to access them can be difficult. This guide acts as a resource for victims who want to leave an abusive relationship safely. It provides guidance on UK support services such as housing, the benefits system, legal channels, child contact arrangements, and safety tips as well as a section on safety planning. Domestic violence can be tricky to put into words. This book explores the definition in legal terms and discusses the signs of abuse including post-separation abuse. Most importantly, it looks at the repetitive cycle of abuse and how it affects the victim. Dive into the author's world of abuse and learn how she survived some of the most difficult periods in her life.
