Welcome to the SPEAK message board and discussion page.  Please leave your question or message and see if you can offer advice or reply to questions posted by previous guests.  You can also use our message board to keep in touch with friends and to exchange ideas with others in a similar situation.  You do not have to join or register to use the and you can remain anonymous by using a different name. Everyone has the right to make their own decisions and we do not want to push victims into leaving a relationship before they are ready. Our aim is to support those vicims who are not ready to take action yet, as well as helping those who have decided to leave, and those who have left but are still suffering.  Many abusers gain continued access to their victims through contact orders placed on children after a relationship breakdown or divorce.  Even without futher contact, many women take a long time to come to terms with what has happened to them.  It is our policy to support everyone, including those who have chosen to stay in an abusive relationship.  All forms of abuse stem from the abusers desire for control and power and this site will not dismiss what other's might consider minor abuse.  Many forms of abuse are not violent and everyone's feelings are valid so please do not feel that you need less support because others have suffered from more severe or physical abuse.  All forms of abuse are destructive and everyone is welcome here, including the friends and family of victims as they are often the first to realise that something is wrong and also deserve support as they too can become targets.
