Hi everyone WARNING SIGNS You are YOU and if you find that you are being forced to change who you are to please a partner then this could be abuse. Below are some of the signs you should look out for. Are you being criticised? Your clothes, your make up, hair, character, personality? Do they tell you that you couldn't cope without them? Are they jealous/possessive? Are you being verbally abused? (Remember emotional abuse IS a criminal offence) Are you being isolated, are you slowly loosing your family and friends? Do their moods change - charming one minute, aggressive the next? Are you movements/whereabouts being monitored? Are you being blamed for the abuse be it emotional, physical etc? Is anger and intimidation being used to control you? Are you being humiliated in front of others? Do they insult you in front of others? Have you been threatened with violence, have they threatened to hurt you, your family, your friends, your pets, your children? Are you having to change your behaviour/character in order to please someone and avoid making them angry? Are you being forced to have sex even though you don't want to? Is someone damaging your possessions? Punching doors, destroying furniture in temper? Threatening to take children from you? Locking you out of your home? These are just some of the warning signs. Abusers are clever, sly and manipulative. VICTIMS PLEASE KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! Not all abuse is physical but emotional abuse IS a criminal offence! Eve x |
