Signs & Symptoms You're in an Abusive Relationship

Abusive relationships can often be hard to diagnose for the person in the situation. If any of these signs or symptoms sound familiar, you may be a victim of an abusive relationship.

You find yourself making excuses for his or her reprehensible behavior such as lying, cheating or stealing from you.

You've found that you've slowly lost contact with friends or family; contact may have been lost at the potential abuser's request.

Your partner becomes extremely jealous and angry when you speak with anyone of the opposite sex. He may also question you incessantly about any interactions you've had with the person in question.

Your partner may try to convince you that no one will want you but her. She may try to belittle you and lower your self esteem to make you feel like no one else wants you.

Your partner hits, kicks, punches, slaps or chokes you and then apologizes for it almost immediately. Abysers often try to place the blame on the person being abused, saying that "You made me do it."

Start by talking to a trusted family member or friend. Create an emergency plan and pack a bag with important items to have them on hand at short notice. Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline for more tips and advice at 800-799-7233 or 800-799-SAFE.
