These behaviours can be controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading or violent.<\/p><p>Your friend or family member may be unsure if they are experiencing domestic abuse. If it is safe to do so, you could share types of abuse with them to help them come to terms with what they are experiencing. Try to keep in mind that they might not be ready to accept that their partner or relative is abusive yet.<\/p><p><strong>Domestic abuse can include, but is not limited to, the following:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/womensaid.org.uk\/information-support\/what-is-domestic-abuse\/coercive-control\/\">Coercive control<\/a>\u00a0(a pattern of intimidation, degradation, isolation and control with the use or threat of physical or sexual violence)<\/li><li>Psychological and\/or emotional abuse [1]<\/li><li>Physical or sexual abuse<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/womensaid.org.uk\/information-support\/what-is-domestic-abuse\/financial-abuse\/\">Financial or economic abuse<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/womensaid.org.uk\/information-support\/what-is-domestic-abuse\/stalking\/\">Harassment and stalking<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/womensaid.org.uk\/information-support\/what-is-domestic-abuse\/online-safety\/\">Online or digital abuse<\/a><\/li><\/ul><p>It\u2019s important to understand that abuse is always underpinned by a pattern of power and control.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/womensaid.org.uk\/information-support\/the-survivors-handbook\/im-not-sure-if-my-relationship-is-healthy\/#1667903641944-eaf74923-f019\">Coercive control<\/a>\u00a0is a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten their victim, creating a context of fear and control that makes it very hard for women to end the relationship.

Listen to them and believe them. Let them express their feelings to you and give them time and space to come to terms with the abuse.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Try to keep in mind that domestic abuse is about one person trying to control another \u2013 the perpetrator will likely have taken away a lot of the control from them, so try not to do the same. Instead of taking the situation out of their hands or making decisions for them, let them know that there is support available for them if and when they choose to reach out. They may decide that it is not the right time to get support or leave. This is okay, it\u2019s important not to force this or judge them for making this decision.\u00a0Let her set her own boundaries of what she feels is and isn\u2019t safe,\u00a0and always remember that she is the expert in her own experiences.\u00a0However, if you have reason to believe that someone is in immediate danger, then you can call the police, or encourage them to call the police if they are able to do so.\u00a0<\/p><p>When she is sharing her experiences, really listen to her, try to understand and don&#8217;t blame her. Let her know\u00a0that she is not alone, and direct her to support services, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk\/\">National Domestic Abuse Helpline<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/survivorsforum.womensaid.org.uk\/\">Survivors&#8217; Forum<\/a>.<\/p><p>When she contacts us, we promise we will never judge, we will always have a fully trained female support worker available, we will give space to explore her options and support her to make choices for her and her children and keep everything confidential. Women\u2019s Aid is here for her.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>She may have suffered physical abuse as well as emotional abuse. If she shares this information with you, you could offer to go to the GP or hospital with her. If she feels comfortable doing so, you can help her report assault(\/s) to the police.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>The abuser may have told her that she deserves the abuse. Let her know that this is not true, no one deserves to be threatened or hurt. There is no justification for the abuser\u2019s behavior, the abuser is the only one responsible for their actions.<\/p><h2>Use supportive language\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2><p>It can be hard to hear your loved one talk about what she is going through but it\u2019s important that your feelings don\u2019t become judgmental words.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Judgmental language around domestic abuse can perpetuate dangerous stereotypes. It can make it more difficult for women to understand the abuse they are experiencing, come to terms with it, and reach out for professional support.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Instead of \u2018If I were you, I\u2019d leave\u2019, try showing that you understand the many barriers she is facing, from financial to emotional, saying, \u2018I understand there are barriers to you leaving\u2019. Leaving is a huge decision, which could lead to further abuse, and it\u2019s important she makes her own decisions when she feels ready.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s also important to be an empowering voice and not blame her for the abuse. Instead of \u2018What did you do to provoke him?\u2019, try \u2018You don\u2019t deserve this, no matter what\u2019 or instead of \u2018That sounds unlike him\u2019, try \u2018Your feelings are valid and I believe you.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>When you\u2019re supporting someone, your words are powerful. It\u2019s vital that survivors get the right response when they reach out to you.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Remember to look after yourself while you are supporting someone through a difficult and emotional time. Don\u2019t put yourself in any dangerous situations, you shouldn\u2019t offer to talk to the abuser about your friend or put yourself in any situations where you could be seen by the abuser as a threat to their relationship.\u00a0If the abuser knows that your friend or family member is reaching out for help, or if you confront them about the abuse, this may escalate the abuse.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6801894 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"6801894\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e70aa3a elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e70aa3a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3da5278\" data-id=\"3da5278\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b191a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b191a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"Handbook\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 id=\"Handbook\"><a href=\"https:\/\/womensaid.org.uk\/information-support\/friends-and-family\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">The Friends and Family Handbook<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/h2><h3><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Looking for support but don&#8217;t know where to start?

If she openly talks about the abuse with you, this is a positive sign. Make sure you are able to direct her to professional support services, like Women\u2019s Aid, where she will be supported to make safe decisions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Your friend may be feeling ashamed or feel she is to blame for the abuse, or that she deserves it, as abusers often tell the person they are hurting that it is their fault. It\u2019s important to know that domestic abuse is always the responsibility of the abuser. There\u2019s nothing that your friend could do that would make it acceptable for him to abuse her. Her self-esteem will likely be low so it\u2019s good to lift her up and let her know that she is much stronger than she feels at the moment.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>She may still love him and believe that he may change. Unfortunately, until she acknowledges he is abusive and is ready to reach out for support, the abuse is likely to continue. It usually gets worse over time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Talk to her about all of these things and try not to be judgmental if she isn\u2019t ready to reach out for support yet. As a friend, one of the best things that you can do is direct her to expert support. If she is ready to think about leaving, support staff may direct her to a refuge, however, the decision to leave the relationship has to ultimately come from her and sometimes it may take several attempts. There are legal options she could pursue such as an injunction against him, or involving the police but it\u2019s important she is properly supported to do this.
