Gaslighting causes you to be unsure of yourself and your own perceptions. You question yourself: "Did I actually see/hear/experience what I thought?" You lose trust in yourself and begin to accept the abuser's point of view. #domesticviolence #VAW

It's very rare for #domesticviolence to be physical from the beginning, and some abusive relationships never involve physical abuse, but are as damaging or more damaging. Leaving is complicated and difficult for a variety of reasons. #VAW

When most people hear the word #domesticviolence , they usually think of physical assault only. Financial abuse is often part of the abusive behaviour and can effect women victim for years after they have left the relationship. #VAW

In rural communities, leaving #domesticviolence is a big decision. Women are more at risk because resources, including police and housing are spread thin. Staying safe often means leaving community and loved ones behind and moving to the city. #VAW
