Are YOU a Victim or a Survivor?
- Does your partner prevent you from seeing family and/or friends?
- Does your partner intimidate or threaten you?
- Has your partner ever prevented you from leaving the house, getting a job
or continuing your education?
- Has your partner destroyed things that you care about?
- Does your partner constantly criticize you and your abilities?
- Has your partner forced you to have sex or engage in sex that makes you
feel uncomfortable?
- If there is a weapon in your house, has your partner ever threatened to

IF YOU ANSWERED 'YES' TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS, YOU SHOULD SEEK
HELP BECAUSE YOU MAY BE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. THE ABUSE IS NOT GOING
TO GO AWAY BY ITSELF. THE VIOLENCE IS GOING TO GET WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT.
We can help!
If you are a victim of abuse the most difficult step for you to take is
to actually admit that you are being abused by your partner. Yet, admission
is the first step in getting help. Call "A Better Way" now!
