Abuse

[Monty27]

Does anyone else think domestic abuse should have it's own page on here?
Ppl need that empathy.

I don’t think so personally.
There are some very experienced posters on here who recognise abuse from clues that would go unnoticed to everyone but the most experienced.
Those posters will post and they will give excellent advice , by contributing to the thread or by PM.

Agree. Lots post in relationships who wouldn't use a section called 'abuse'.

I might confuse it with being for those who were abused as children.

And it would feel like labeling people on the one hand. On the other, lots of victim/survivors of domestic abuse don't feel they were abused 'enough ' because there's always someone who had it worse and because you block out a lot of it.

Domestic Abuse is a massive and complex problem and not something anyone should feel alone with. There are huge problems of not being believed, the fallout, finding ways out, growing from it. It is certainly an issue in itself. No abuse is ever acceptable and I think a separate board would be helpful.
