- 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.
