EspañolOn the "Am I being abused?" checklist, how many checked off means I am abused?
The list “Am I Being Abused?” on our website gives examples of abusive behavior. There is not necessarily a set number of questions to which a person has to answer ‘yes’ to in order to be in an abusive relationship. Rather, each question on the list points to a sign of potential abuse, and may likely be a sign of an unhealthy relationship.
If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to one or many of the questions on the list, or if you feel scared, hurt or put down by your partner or someone you live with, you might find it useful to talk to somebody, such as a counselor or advocate at a domestic violence organization, who may be able to offer you support and help. There are many organizations in STATE that might be able to help you, both state-wide and local. We have a list of these organizations and their contact information at our website. If you would like to get in touch with one of these organizations, here is a link that can help you: LINK
