Abstract

The page on the website Restored UK explains how to recognise domestic abuse, highlighting that it can take many forms—physical, emotional, sexual, financial, or psychological. Abusers often exert control and manipulate victims, making it difficult for them to recognise the abuse. Warning signs include isolation, fear of a partner’s reactions, and being blamed for problems. The page encourages those experiencing or witnessing these signs to seek help and provides resources for support, ensuring individuals do not face the abuse alone.
