Women’s aid

[GlitterKnitterBee]

My GP has referred me to Women’s Aid for advice after I confided in her about my husbands behaviour. He isnt physically abusive, it’s verbal and psychological. I wondered if anyone else has called them for advice over a situation similar to mine? I need advice on my options etc and I don’t know who else to call

Phone them, I did for that too and they were excellent. I too felt like because he wasn't beating me or doing it 24 hours a day then it wasn't bad enough but that's wrong (and probably how he wants you to feel so you are on the back foot). Tbh it's the psychological stuff that's so much harder to heal so I think it's worse. Good luck

Lots of women on her have had some wonderFUL support from Womens Aid.
Call them and talk to them.
You may have to try a few times or ask for a call back.
They are the experts and they can and will help you.
Domestic abuse, in all it's forms, is totally unacceptable.
The person doesn't need to be violent to be abusing you.
In fact, it's been shown that other abuses are more damaging, long term. And these are the reasons why it now illegal and now called domestic abuse and and domestic violence.
Get all the help and support you can from them to get away.
No amount of any sort of abuse is acceptable - EVER!
