The Signs

Warning Signs you are in an abusive relationship:

  • Your partner calls you names, puts you down, and unreasonably blames you for their problems
  • Controls where you go and who you see (this can be subtle suggestions at first and then become more insistent, disrespecting your friends and family)
  • Gets jealous easily and demonstrates possessiveness
  • Excessive texting and calling to find out where you are and who you are with
  • Threatens to harm you, your children, your family or your pets
  • Hits, kicks, slaps, shoves, or strangles you
  • Destroys property
  • Threatens you with a weapon
  • Threatens to commit suicide

 

These are just some of the signs.  If a partner’s behavior creates fear and you feel unsafe to express yourself, you are in an abusive relationship.
