It can be difficult to know what to do when you are in an abusive relationship and fearful that it may become public knowledge. The most important thing is that you take steps to ensure your safety; this may mean separating from your partner or contacting a domestic violence hotline for support and guidance on next steps. Additionally, seeking the help of a mental health professional who specializes in issues of abuse can help you find strategies for keeping yourself and your children safe, as well as ways to process what has happened emotionally. It may also be helpful to talk with trusted friends or family members about what is happening, while taking careful consideration of any potential backlash from the perpetrator. Remember: You are not alone, and many resources are available that can help keep you safe no matter where you are.

It’s a difficult situation, but first and foremost you should seek help from a professional such as a counsellor or healthcare provider who can provide advice and support. You might also want to reach out to an organisation like Domestic Abuse Helpline for Women (DAHWA). Additionally, it is important that you have open conversations with your partner and set clear boundaries regarding the abuse. Lastly, be aware of safe environments where your partner cannot access private information about you.
