Are You a Victim?
If you are unsure as to whether you are a victim of domestic abuse, we recommend that you use the following questionnaire as guidance.
Does your partner...
- Behave in an overprotective manner or become extremely jealous?
- Call you names or fight with you in front of family or friends?
- Threaten to hurt you, your children, pets, family members, friends, or himself?
- Prevent you from seeing family or friends?
- Suddenly get angry or lose his temper?
- Destroy personal property?
- Deny you access to family assets like bank accounts, credit cards, and cars?
- Use intimidation or manipulation to control you or your children?
- Hit, punch, slap, kick, shove, or bite you?
- Prevent you from going places?
- Force you to have sex?
- Harass you at work?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be in an abusive relationship. For advice, information and support, please visit the contacts page.
