World Cup Football......Great for fans, great for pubs, great for grass roots clubs..........YET OFTEN an excuse for Domestic Abusers to hurt those they profess to love if thier favourite are not winning
This is not something we dream up to be able to have a dig at men, its a known fact that both our hospitals & police report an increase in
Domestic Abuse during sporting competitions including football.
When I worked for a domestic abuse charity there was always an increase in out of hours calls because someone's husband, partner, wife or girlfriend had been a victim of abuse due to a team losing.
Please if you are in an abusive relationship please get some help ......abusers RARELY CHANGE without help to understand why they do what they do.
Only cowards abuse others and there is help out there both for the abused and the abuser.
If you need some help then please contact Jacqui Kershaw [email protected] in strictest confidence, no one deserves to be abused
