Are you being affected by intimate partner violence?

What it is...
Domestic or intimate partner violence is a pattern of coersive behavior to maintain power and control over a partner.

What it's not...

• It's NOT about anger
• It's NOT about pushing buttons
• It's NOT about drugs or alcohol
• It's NOT about what she wears, who she talks to or even about her.

Does this sound familiar?

• Does your partner insult you, put you down in front of people, call you offensive names and make you feel worthless?
• Does your partner hit, kick, strangle, or beat you?
• Does your partner get jealous of your relationships with other people and prevent you from having contact with family and friends?
• Does your partner threaten to hurt you or destroy personal property?
• Does your partner control all the family’s money, car, and credit cards?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you might be abused.
