By far I think this one is the most important

I’ll look at it from a domestic abuse perspective

When I told people about my abuse (when I realised it was abuse) I did get a lot of support. However sometimes the support wasn’t great.

People would listen as I tell them my “problems” and they would say a few things such as: why didn’t you leave? Why did you stay? Are you safe?

When looking at these you think they are fine questions. Well they aren’t. If I got a pound for everytime I was asked that I could quit my job and move abroad.

Never ask someone questions like that they can sound judgemental.

So today, just listen and offer support.
