More than half of women living with abusive partners experience violence during pregnancy.
But while the correlation between violence and pregnancy is well-documented, researchers are still determining what drives the link.
Dr Joanne Spangaro, head of social work at the University of Wollongong, calls these men “the velcro partner”. She added that some perpetrators evade detection because they don’t physically abuse their partners. On that night, which Rachael marks as “the point of no return”, the way her partner acted reminded her of a werewolf horror film.
The screening involves trained counsellors putting “a series of structured questions” to clients — without their partners present — and picking up on behavioural cues. Rachael remembers thinking: “You’ve just put me through hell and then you turn around and say ‘it’s your choice’.” “I felt like I was doing it alone,” she said. “I didn’t put on a lot of weight because I wasn’t eating and it affected my health and [the baby’s] health.”
