  • Do they put you down?
  • Do they call you names?
  • Do they humiliate you?
  • Do they threaten to hurt you or do something to you that makes you fear for your safety?
  • Do they hurt your pets?
  • Do they destroy the things that are important to you?
  • Do they keep you away from family or friends?
  • Do they control what you do, who you see and who you interact with?
  • Do they intimidate you by punching walls or throwing things?
  • Do they slap, hit, push, hold you down, choke you, pull your hair, confine you, force you to have sex or threaten use of a weapon?

They are not loving you – they are controlling you and abusing you.

If someone you love is crossing the line, tell someone you can trust.
