Sometimes it is hard and confusing to admit that you are in an abusive relationship, or to find a way out. There are clear signs to help you know if you are being abused. If the person you love or live with does any of these things to you, it's time to get help:
1.monitors what you're doing all the time
2.criticizes you for little things
3.constantly accuses you of being unfaithful
4.prevents or discourages you from seeing friends or family, or going to work or school
5.gets angry when drinking alcohol or using drugs
6.controls how you spend your money
7.controls your use of needed medicines
8.humiliates you in front of others
9.destroys your property or things that you care about
10.threatens to hurt you, the children, or pets, or does hurt you (by hitting, beating, pushing, shoving, punching, slapping, kicking, or biting)
11.uses or threatens to use a weapon against you
12.forces you to have sex against your will
13.blames you for his or her violent outbursts
I am very passionate on increasing awareness of this due to personal experience, so I went out and did a photoshoot which I posted on my FaceBook group and Profile. I hope this has an impact.

Scarred and brused, hurt and confused, who would've known such terror could come from him? This man you once loved and think you still do. Kids or none, Get help & get out!!
