National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline
Does your partner:
- Embarrass you
with put-downs?
- Look at you or
act in ways that scare you?
- Control what you
do, who you see, or talk to, or where you go?
- Stop you from
seeing your friends or family members?
- Take your money
or Social Security check, make you ask for money or refuse to give
you
money?
- Make all of the
decisions?
- Tell you that
you’re a bad parent or threaten to take away or hurt your children?
- Prevent you from
working or attending school?
- Act like the
abuse is no big deal, it’s your fault, or even deny doing it?
- Destroy your
property or threaten to kill your pets?
- Intimidate you
with guns, knives or other weapons?
- Shove you, slap
you, choke you, or hit you?
- Force you to try
and drop charges?
- Threaten to
commit suicide?
- Threaten to kill
you?
If you answered ‘yes’ to even one of these questions, you may be in an abusive relationship.
And as always, if you are in extreme danger, call 911.
