Identifying domestic violence?
Sometimes it's hard to recognize that you are a victim of domestic violence. Here is the checklist to help you define instances of
abuse:
Have you or your children ever been shoved, slapped, punched, kicked or hit?
Have you been told you can't do anything right, you're an unfit parent or you don't deserve anything?
Have you been blamed for your partners violent temper or behavior?
Have you ever been locked inside/outside of your home?
Has your partner threatened to hurt your child or pet?
Have you been accused of having affairs?
Does your partner throw things at you or destroy/take your personal items?
Does your partner call you names or put you down?
Does your partner apologize after being violent and yet repeat the behavior?
Are you isolated from friends and family because of your partner's jealousy?
Are you ashamed that you are in an abusive relationship?
Have you been hurt when you were sick or pregnant?
