Physical abuse can cause great bodily harm and even death. If your partner is physical with you, the chances of it happening again are great. Your partner may say things like, “It will never happen again,” “I wouldn’t have hit you if I hadn’t been drinking,” “I’ll get help.” These are all tactics to get you to stay in the relationship.

are being physically abused, please call Advocates of Ozaukee at
