The BBC's Domestic Violence Day aims to raise awareness about abuse in the home.
Mel Rawding, 36, from Plymouth, speaks of her own experiences at the hands of an abusive husband.

When Mel decided to get married at the age of 27, she never suspected her fiance, a gunner in the Royal Navy, would raise a violent hand to her.

He was charming, generous and good with her two-year-old daughter. But, when Mel became pregnant with her second child and their wedding day came, all that changed.

"He became nasty," she says. "He verbally abused me and then ignored me for most of our wedding day. I just didn't know what I had done."

Then, after her new husband left home for a tour overseas, Mel began to discover he had been telling her lies about his past and that he had mounting debts.

The warning signs of abuse can be very subtle until things get really bad. I feel sorry for this woman and her children. She is right though. When in this situation the best thing to do is plan an escape and follow it through. Deal with the emotional part of it later.

Very sad that she had to take it for 5 years before she was able to get away. Guys like that need a good beating of their own to see how it feels..Jerks :bat:
