Domestic abuse is any action intended to control or keep power over a spouse, partner, family member, or girlfriend/boyfriend. The abuse may take the form of something physical, or it may be emotional, verbal, sexual, or financial. You might feel threatened, controlled, or belittled.

Setting free from an abuser may feel impossible. You are probably terrified and feel trapped. However, many victims of abuse and domestic violence have made it. With the help of 5 hotlines in Estonia that support with abuse and domestic violence, you can live without having to endure these symptoms of abuse:

Your partner/family member has told you they will commit suicide if you leave
Your partner/family member humiliates you, insults you and puts you down
Being taken advantage of financially
You are being controlled by your partner/family member
Your partner/family member blames you for how they behave
Fear of your partner/family member much of the time
Your partner/family member hurts you or is threatening to hurt you
You are being isolated from friends and family members

Victims of abuse and domestic violence can be in a difficult position. They once had (or still have) love for the abuser. On the other hand, they are constantly exposed to harm from someone who should love them back. This can feel puzzling and scary.

If you're experiencing abuse and domestic violence, feeling scared is perfectly natural. You could be doubtful and convinced that there’s no way out. Talking to someone in Estonia who understands how abusive relationships work might help you feel less hopeless and powerless.
