It
is absolutely devastating to realise that the partner who you love
is abusive and hostile towards you. It is not up to you to decide if
he/she can change, that choice is entirely up to them. Ultimately,
it is their decision, that will determine if there is any chance of
you continuing in a relationship together.
It is your right to treated with respect by your partner. It is your right not
to be hit or harmed by your partner. It is your right to live without threat
of emotional, physical or sexual violence. Please seek help from a local Women's
Aid Group if you are living in this situation.
