Are You in an Abusive Relationship?
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to any of them, you may be in an abusive relationship.
Physical & Sexual Abuse
- • Has your partner hit, slapped, or physically hurt you?
- • Are you afraid of your partner's temper?
- • Has your partner forced you to have sex?
- • Does your partner threaten to hurt you or your children?
Emotional & Financial Control
- • Does your partner control your money or prevent you from working?
- • Are you isolated from friends and family?
- • Does your partner constantly criticise or humiliate you?
- • Do you feel like you're "walking on eggshells"?
Remember: Abuse is never your fault, and you deserve help and safety.
