Interpersonal abuse occurs when one person in a relationship uses power to gain control over another. Abuse can occur in any relationship – gay, straight, polyamorous, family or friend. The abuse can be physical, sexual, emotional, financial or spiritual. Abusers gain control in many ways – through intimidation, coercion, threats and isolation. They may use children as a manipulation tool or engage in economic or emotional abuse. They may blame their partner and minimize or deny their concerns. Deciding whether to leave or stay can be a scary and uncertain time. We understand that, and we’re here to help. We believe everyone deserves a safe home. We can help you begin to heal and work with you to plan a strong, independent life free from abuse. If you decide to stay or reconcile, we can work with you to develop a safety plan and explore supportive resources in the community for you and your partner.
