Do you fee safe at home?

The last time I was at the Judicial Complex, I found this business card.  Here are the contents verbatim.  I hope this helps someone in need.


Do you feel safe at home?  Does your partner…

*           Monitor your time, your phone calls, conversations or internet use?

*           Criticize, belittle or humiliate you?

*           Act jealous or possessive?

*           Threaten to hurt you, your children, family, friends or pets?

*           Blame you for how they feel or act?

*           Make you feel you are incapable of making decisions?

*           Yell or call you names?

*           Hit, slap or push you, your children or pets?

*           Throw or destroy things?

*           Threaten to take everything including the children, if you leave?


DON’T KEEP THE SECRET:  Talk About It!
