How can I end a relationship without resorting to violence or abuse?

Ending a relationship can be a traumatic experience for all people involved, and it can also be a dangerous time when conflict can escalate. Sometimes the use of violence or abuse can become worse around separation, as one partner takes out their anger and frustration on the other, or tries to use violence, threats or coercion to get the partner to stay.

Relationships Australia can advise perpetrators of family violence (or those who are concerned that they could resort to violence or abuse) on how to eliminate aggressive and violent behaviour.
