Domestic Violence – How to Tell If You are in an Abusive Relationship
By Liza Cooper | October 13, 2009
Sometimes, when you are being abused by someone you love, it is hard to see it for what it is. If you suspect there may be abuse in your relationship, look for these tell-tale signs:
- Track all of your time?
- Constantly accuse you of being unfaithful?
- Discourage your relationships with family and friends?
- Prevent you from working or attending school?
- Criticize you for little things?
- Anger easily when drinking or on drugs?
- Control all finances and force you to account for what you spend?
- Humiliate you in front of others?
- Destroy your personal property or sentimental items?
- Hit punch, slap, kick, or bite you or your children?
- Threaten to hurt you or your children?
- Use or threaten to use a weapon against you?
- Force you to have sex against your will?
If you find yourself saying yes to several of these questions, you are in an abusive relationship.
