Many survivors of physical abuse say that the violence started with just a slap or a push, but then became more intense over time.

Blaming you

An abuser will often blame someone else, such as the victim, for saying or doing something that ‘caused’ their violent behaviour. Or they might say their behaviour was a result of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or feeling stressed or frustrated.

Telling you they’re sorry

It’s also quite common for the abuser to feel remorse and to apologise after an assault. They may beg for forgiveness and promise they’ll never do it again. They will quite often sincerely regret what they’ve done, which makes it more difficult for the victim of the assault to leave the relationship.

What you need to remember:

Their violent behaviour is always their responsibility, not yours.
Abuse is never okay or justifiable.
Whatever they say, their violence is never acceptable.
What should you do if you’ve been physically abused?

If you’ve experienced physical abuse, it’s essential that you seek help. There are a number of services that can offer support. Most importantly, if you’re currently fearful or you believe you’re in danger, contact the emergency services (000) immediately.]]> 2018-02-20 19:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/margotvanleeuwen18/bq7llpbnriwm/wish/233461244 Physical Abuse jacimiller19 https://padlet.com/margotvanleeuwen18/bq7llpbnriwm/wish/233461984 2018-02-20 19:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/margotvanleeuwen18/bq7llpbnriwm/wish/233461984 Hotline margotvanleeuwen18 https://padlet.com/margotvanleeuwen18/bq7llpbnriwm/wish/233465585 2018-02-20 19:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/margotvanleeuwen18/bq7llpbnriwm/wish/233465585 Domestic violence and abuse margotvanleeuwen18 https://padlet.com/margotvanleeuwen18/bq7llpbnriwm/wish/233471650 2018-02-20 19:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/margotvanleeuwen18/bq7llpbnriwm/wish/233471650
