Are You in an Abusive Relationship?

Does he sometimes say critical things that make you feel bad about yourself? 

Does he disregard your opinions because they are always wrong? 

Does he dislike your family and try to stop you seeing them? 

Does he insult your friends and drive them away? 

Is he jealous and possessive of you? 

Is everything that goes wrong somehow your fault? 

Does he get angry when he does not get his way? 

Has he left you feeling ashamed or afraid and unable to talk to others about the relationship? 

Does he blame you for his bad behaviour and say you provoked it? 

Does he curse, mock and humiliate you in public or private? 

Do you have to lie or make excuses for his bad behaviour? 

Do you feel like you are walking an emotional tightrope with him? 

Does he threaten or intimidate you? 

Does he hurt, or threaten to hurt, you, your children, your pets? 

Does he minimise what he says or does in anger? 

Does he believe that men are powerful and women should do as they are told? 

Does he abuse drugs and alcohol? 

Does he tell you you are lucky to have him, and no one else would want you?

If you have answered ‘yes�?to two or more of these questions, the chances are you have been subjected to consistently abusive and damaging behavour.
