Are You A Victim of Abuse?

Everyone argues or fights with their spouse or partner every now and then. However, there is a big difference between a common squabble and an abusive situation!

Are you a victim of abuse?

Here are some symptoms to look for:

  • Has your spouse or partner ever threatened you or your children?
  • Has your spouse or partner ever hit you?
  • Have you been forced to do something you did not want to do?
  • Has your spouse or partner destroyed your clothing or other things you really like?
Don't be a victim!

Break the Silence, Make the Call!
