Domestic Violence - Wondering if you have abusive tendencies…….. “How does your partner react? Do they… • Seem nervous around you? • Seem afraid of you? • Cringe or move away from you when you’re angry? • Cry because of something you don’t let them do, or something you made them do? • Seem scared or unable to contradict you or speak up about something? • Restrict their own interaction with friends, coworkers or family in order to avoid displeasing you? If any of these behaviors sound familiar to how you act or how your partner reacts, it could be a red flag that you may be hurting them. This can be a difficult and unnerving realization to come to. So — what now? At The Hotline we take calls from everyone, from concerned friends and family, to those questioning unhealthy behaviors in their relationship (whether they’re on the giving or receiving end of the actions). Call us at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) to confidentially talk to one of our advocates. We’ll discuss these behaviors with you, learn about what’s going on and take it from there. By acknowledging now that your behaviors might be questionable and taking responsibility for them, you’re a step ahead in beginning to correct them” (thehotline.org/2013/09/ask-yourself-am-i-hurting-my-partner/, retrieved on September 14, 2013).
