If you're not sure wether you and your children are experiencing abusive behaviours by family members or a partner, here are some helpful questions:

Do you have a family member or partner that says or does things that make you fear for your safety?
Are you feeling isolated or are you sitancing yourself from friends and family because of your relationship with this person?
Is controlling, disrespectful or degrading behaviour become a pattern?
Do you feel, or are you being made to feel, that you're not good enough or are worthless?
Do you feel intimidated or scared by verbal abuse, physical threats, or stalking?
Do you feel like the problems in your relationship are all your fault?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it might be helpful to talk to a professional to get some more information about what is abusive and controlling behaviour. There is help available for you, your family, and the person choosing to abuse.
