Domestic abuse can affect anyone regardless of age, sex, financial status, sexual orientation or race.

Some people don’t leave an abusive situation immediately because…

• They have a realistic fear that the abusive behavior will escalate and become fatal if they attempt to leave.
• Their friends and family may not support their leaving
• If they leave, they face the difficulties of single parenting and having less money.
• Along with the manipulation, fear and intimidation, there is a mix of good times, love, and hope.
• They don’t have any information about or access to safety and support.
