When it comes to domestic violence, it is often portrayed as something visible: black eyes, broken bones, bruises. But for many survivors, the most damaging wounds are the ones no one can see.
It can be the partner who constantly criticizes or belittles you until your confidence disappears. It's isolation from family and friends, having your money monitored, every text questioned, every controlled decision. It's walking on eggshells, changing your behavior to avoid conflict, and living with a fear that becomes so normal you stop recognizing it.
Abuse is not always physical.
It can be emotional, psychological, financial, verbal, digital. At times it can be subtle, other times it can be gradual and hidden behind closed doors.
When we only look for visible signs, we miss countless people who are suffering in silence.
Domestic Violence isn't always what you see. Sometimes it is what you don't. Awareness begins when we understand that abuse takes many forms.
