A lot of types of domestic abuse go undetected: the behavior comes to seem "normal" or accepted, especially when it happens every day.
Earlier this year, our town had a "Wear Purple to Raise Awareness of Domestic Abuse" day. Because I needed to post information about this on the website that I manage, I looked into the organization sponsoring the day--Emerge, http://www.emergecenter.org/
As I read through the website, the stories amazed me--the women described types of behaviors that, when I was growing up, women of my mom's generation just accepted as "how it is" (no wonder that generation experienced so much addiction to prescription medication!). Looking through this website, I found it inspiring to see the damaging behaviors identified and then to read the stories of the journeys to freedom from abuse.
You might be able to find a center in your town that can offer help. One place to start is here: https://www.victimsupport.org.uk/crime-info/types-crime/domestic-abuse
And a 24-hour line you can call is http://www.nationaldomesticviolencehelpline.org.uk/
(The first link is a resource in my town--the second two links are for resources in the UK.)
