Although there is no excuse for abusing, there is help.

Are/do you:

Do you ever:

• Call your girlfriend/boyfriend, spouse, or children names?
• Text or call them excessively and get upset when they don't respond?
• Monitor their email or profile on a social networking site?
• Feel you have a right or need to know where they are most of the time?
• Get jealous or angry when they spend time with friends or family?
• Ask them to change their clothes or style of dress?
• Get in their face during a disagreement?
• Push, slap, or punch them for any reason?
• Restrain them to keep them from leaving during an argument?
• Guilt or force them into having sex?
• Threaten to hurt them or yourself if your relationship ever ends?

Fact is, if you answered 'yes' to one of the above, you are being abusive. 

Domestic violence is a crime.

It destroys relationships and families.

It passes from generation to generation.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

If you abuse, you can choose to stop.
