- The abuse is not your fault
- Your partner's behaviour will only change if they recognise they have a problem and take responsibility for changing their abusive behaviour
- Domestic violence is against the law
- Help is available - contact the Refuge Warrington Independent Domestic Violence Advocacy Service
