Christmas celebrations don’t stop abusers—often, they make it worse. They blame alcohol or say, 'Don’t be a mood killer,' leaving you feeling guilty for saying NO. All you wanted was a safe Christmas, but he took that away. You’re not helpless. There’s hope. Protect your peace by dialing *134*7355# or 08000 TEARS / 08000 83277 for free help, available 24/7. #YouAreNotAlone #SupportIsHere #TEARSFoundation
