Signs of Abuse

Does someone you know:

  • Insult you, call you derogatory names or belittle you?
  • Turn minor incidents into major arguments?
  • Have sudden outbursts of anger or rage?
  • Prevent you from going where you want, when you want?
  • Prevent you from working, attending school or seeing family or friends?
  • Destroy your personal property?
  • Humiliate you?
  • Use intimidation or manipulation to control you or your children?
  • Threaten to hurt you, your children, friends or family members?
  • Expect you to have sex on demand or force you to engage in sexual acts that you don't want to do?
  • Control all the finances, force you to account for what you spend, or take your money?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you may be a victim of domestic violence.

Remember

You are not alone.

You are not to blame.

You can get help.
