Try and make a safe space and talk to them.

With a adult gently let them open up talk to them about there behaviour then there husband/wife or girlfreind/boyfriend is around and how they act differently.

Never talk to someone who you think is getting abuses about there bruises they may try and cover it over and especially females will try to hide under there make up.

With children ask them how they are feeling and share that this is a open space to talk. Never tell a child you are scared for there safety or ask a child if he or she is being abused just keep reminding them they can tell you anything as this is a open space if you tell a child you are worried about them and you are scared off there bruises a child will tell their parents and that could be putting them more in danger.

Emotional abuse happens too

Emotional abuses is a very complicated abuse it tends to happen very slowly and at first it just seems like the person is more arugmentive or doesn’t want to be around you they have stopped talking to there family.

They have stopped talking to there friends because there partner doesn’t like there friends and he or she just wants all off there time.

They spend all the time together and there partner speaks for them they are always talking about how there partners wishes need to be filled. There partner seems to put his or her self confidence down by calling them fat or ever calling them ugly.

They are always talking about how there partner is after some other women and how they should change to be just what there partner wants.
