if you can answer yes to any of these questions you may be a victim of
domestic abuse.

- Are you in fear of the consequences if you argue with a partner?
- Is there anything that goes on at home that makes you feel afraid?
- Is someone using violence or threats to get what they want from you
or your children?
- Are you frequently being humiliated, criticized, insulted and /or
threatened by someone you live with?
- Are you prevented from leaving the house on your own?
- Are you kept isolated from your friends and family?
- Does your partner act jealously, perhaps always calling you to check
up on you, or accusing you unjustly of flirting with others or of having
affairs?
