Are You Being Abused?
Does your partner . . .
- Constantly put you down or harass you?
- Make you feel stupid, crazy, worthless?
- Not let you have your own friends?
- Make it hard for you to leave your home?
- Hit, slap, kick, punch or push you around?
- Hurt you or threaten you in other ways?
- Force you to have sex against your wishes?
- Make you do sexual acts you don't like?
Are you . . .
- Afraid for yourself or your children?
- Emotionally torn apart?
- Threatened with beatings if you leave, talk to a lawyer or go to court?
Do you . . .
- Feel hopeless, anxious, full of tension?
- Think you are never right, no matter what you do?
- Feel guilty or ashamed about what is happening?
If you answer "yes" to any or all of these questions, you are being abused physically, emotionally or sexually by your partner.
