I think I'm abusing someone

Are you treating a partner, ex partner or family member in a way that's hurting them?

 


Are you being abusive?

You're being abusive if you:

  • Check up on your partner or ex-partner frequently (listening to their phone conversations, checking their car mileage, emails, texts)
  • frequently put your partner or ex-partner down (calling them names, criticising them, humiliating them)
  • try to control your partner or ex-partner (telling them whom they can or can't see, where they can and can't go, what they can or can't wear) 
  • are frightening your partner or ex-partner
  • are being physically violent, emotionally abusive, intimidating or sexually abusive.
