Questions to Ask Yourself to Know If You Are in a Domestic Violence Relationship
Does your mate constantly put you down and call you names?
Does your mate call you names in public, put you down in front of family and friends?
Has your mate ever pushed you, kicked you, slapped you, or threaten you with a weapon?
Has your mate ever forced sex upon you?
Does your mate make you feel everything negative that happens in your relationship is your fault?
Does your mate prevent you from working, make you ask for money, gives you how much he wants you to have (allowance) or does not let you see how the family money is being handled, for instance paying bills, buying food, etc?
If you have tried to leave him or call the cops, has he threatened to kill himself or you?
Does he drive dangerously, give you looks that frightened you, destroys property when angry, displays weapons or abuses animals?
If you have left him, does he use the children to send you messages, threatened to take the kids away, uses visitation right to harass you?
If you have answered yes to any of these or all of these questions LEAVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
I know there are people in your life right now who have told you that but they do not realize that this is easier said than done.
There are many reasons why you tell yourself you are staying.....children need their father (need you too alive), finances, scared to make it on your own, etc.
Here are some options:
Make a plan weeks ahead before you leave, know where you are going, try to have some money saved if possible. You will need to go somewhere that he would never suspect you being. This could be a shelter home, a friend that he does not know about.
Parents need to be aware that teenage girls are getting involved with abusers daily, we have a celebrity to attest to that.....Rihanna. Look for signs.
Call the National Domestic Violence Hot line at 1-800-799-SAFE.
