For women: I have been violent or abusive and I need help

'I am filled with so much anger and it has escalated to physical violence'

'I ended up kicking him when he was in bed because of something he said'

'My situation is that I yell at my husband a lot...I yell a lot!'

Women using violence and abuse towards their partners

Women can be violent or abusive towards their partners too. Although it is generally acknowledged that the majority of domestic violence is perpetrated by men against women, it happens the other way round too.

The Respect Phoneline is available for women who have concerns about the way they behave towards their partners.

We have published a booklet to help women understand their situation better and, hopefully, make some changes towards a safer relationship. This booklet can be downloaded here.
