Your Church Abuse Awareness
Abuse Test
- Does your husband/boyfriend act jealous or possessive of you? Does he accuse you of having affairs or paying too much attention to others?
- Do you feel like you are always walking on egg shells? Do you feel like you have to be especially careful to avoid conflicts?
- Does your husband/boyfriend call you bad names or put you down?
- Does he control what you do, who you see or talk to, or where you go?
- Does he define your feelings, opinions, needs or wants?
- Does he seem either angry or to have “no idea what you are talking about” when you try to discuss an issue?
- Does your husband/boyfriend control the money, withhold financial information, take your money, make you ask for money, or refuse to give you money?
- Has your husband/boyfriend destroyed property? (hit or kicked doors, walls, furniture, thrown items, destroyed the phone or pulled the cord from the wall, etc.?)
- Does he shove, slap, pinch, kick, and/or hit you?
If even ONE item on the list describes your relationship, you may be in an abusive relationship. Domestic abuse is a pattern of behaviors used to gain and maintain power and control in an intimate relationship. You are NEVER at fault for someone’s choice to abuse you!
