Abuse isn’t Always Physical

Domestic abuse isn’t always physical. It can look like care, concern, or love. It can feel confusing, especially when control is framed as protection or closeness, and especially in LGBTQIA+ relationships where safety and belonging already matter so much.

On Day 1 of our awareness campaign, I’m sharing how abuse can be hidden behind love, and why recognising these patterns earlier is so important.

This is the kind of learning that helps people feel believed, supported, and less alone.
