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?
