Dear Harold,

I am a victim of domestic violence. My usband regularly assaults me (physically and verbally) on flimsy excuses. The assaults have impacted negatively on my personality as it occasionally happens as neighbours watch. I do not want to walk away from the marriage just yet as we have two children below eight who I believe need the love and care of both parents.
