Overview

Domestic abuse is an epidemic. Connection is the antidote. Globally 840 million people experienced domestic abuse in 2025, that we know of. In the UK alone 3.7 million adults experienced domestic abuse, that equates to 1 in 4 adults or 2.2 million females and 1.5 million males. This is shocking and not acceptable. Domestic abuse or intimate partner violence can happen to anyone regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, religion or gender. It is not just about physical violence it covers incidents including coercive controlling behaviour, threats, neglect, manipulation, passive aggression, psychological or emotional abuse, sexual and financial abuse. Abuse is a pattern of negative behaviours that are repeated and include physical, verbal or psychological actions that violate an individual's human and civil rights. This A-Z Of Toxic Relationships is a lexicon, whose words are directly linked to domestic abuse. It includes all the red flags that are evident at the start of an abusive relationship, from lovebombing to gaslighting, this compendium is here to inform, educate and prevent domestic abuse. Abuse is a violation of trust and power that can take many forms, (emotional, physical, psychological, sexual or financial), each leaving invisible wounds that often run deeper than the visible ones. It thrives on control, manipulation and fear. The perpetrator seeks to dominate and diminish their recruit's sense of safety, self-worth and autonomy. Whether through hurtful words, violent actions or cold indifference, abuse dismantles boundaries and distorts reality, leaving survivors questioning their sanity and self worth. The only way to stop domestic abuse is to connect and inform. The more people who know what domestic abuse looks like the more we can prevent it from happening in the first place. This A-Z Of Toxic Relationships is not the answer but it is a key to understanding what domestic abuse is.
