Deliberate Donkey 
Thank you for sharing your story, and this information. The more light is shone on this, the more people will be helped.
Thanks for sharing your story and that of others. I hope it is OK to share a link to over 70 suggestions for what we can do if we know somebody who is experiencing domestic or family violence. (They are from the Australian context but are still relevant – just some of the phone numbers will be wrong!)
Thank you for sharing this.
