Am I experiencing domestic abuse?

Are you:

• afraid of your partner?
• afraid of making your own decisions?

Do you:

• feel isolated?
• feel bullied or belittled by your partner?
• feel as if you are walking on egg shells?
• change your behaviour to avoid triggering an 'incident'?

Does your partner:

• cut you off from friends and family?
• tell you who you can be friends with?
• tell you what to wear?
• try to control what else you do?
• verbally abuse you?
• physically hurt you?
• threaten you or your children?
• control the money?
• force you to have sex or make unreasonable demands?
• get jealous for no reason?
• accuse you of being unfaithful?
• say you are useless and couldn't cope without you?
• have sudden changes of mood which dominate your relationship?

Is your:

• partner charming one minute and abusive the next?

If you have answered yes to one or more of these questions you may be experiencing domestic abuse.
