A man from North Wales has told of how he was domestically abused by his partner over a number of years.
Jack, 27, not his real name, and his two-year-old son have now found sanctuary in a refuge run by the Domestic Abuse Safety Unit (DASU).
Recently, DASU received £71,400 from North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Arfon Jones, accessed from the Ministry of Justice, to support service users and purchase safety equipment to deal with challenges brought on by the pandemic.
Jack said: “Things haven’t been good for the last few years. My partner did throw things at me and could be violent but the issue was the mental stress I was always under. We met when I was 21 or 22 and we were together for five years.
