Are you being abused?
You deserve a life free from abuse and violence. We can help you build it.
What is abuse?
Abuse is the attempt to gain power in a relationship by trying to control how the other person thinks, acts or feels. Abuse doesn’t have to be physical to hurt.
Does your partner…
~ keep you away from friends and family?
~ control all of the money?
~ accuse you of cheating?
~ act jealous?
~ put you down or call you names?
~ force you to have sex?
~ have sudden violent outbursts?
~ threaten you or your children with violence?
~ hit you or hurt you in any way?
~ destroy your property?
~ hurt or threaten to hurt your pets?
~ make you doubt yourself or feel like you are “going crazy”?
~ monitor where you go and who you see, or make your “check in” regularly?
Does your partner make you feel…
~ Worthless?
~ Nervous? (walking on eggshells)
~ Fearful?
~ Ashamed?
