And of course... YOU CAN BREAK LOCKDOWN IF YOU ARE LIVING WITH AN ABUSIVE PARTNER. Get out the house if it means you'll be safer.
Hitting you, stopping you from contacting family, threatening you or making you do things you don't want to do, making you feel worthless... those are just some of the ways abusers exert power. Domestic abuse can happen to *anyone*, if it doesn't feel right... get out.
