Criticize, humiliate you or call you names?
2. Demand to know where you
are at all times?
3. Accuse you of being unfaithful?

kick you?

your will?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these,
you may be in an abusive relationship. You are not alone.
The abuse is not your fault. Help is available. Anyone can
be a victim. It happens to people of all ages, races, religions,
all income and educational levels, and all sexual orientations.
Both men and women may be victims.

does NOT go away on its own. It usually gets worse with time.
Talking with someone may not be easy but it can help. NO ONE
deserves to be abused.
