AN UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP
Force, either physical or psychological, is used to try to control you
You are not allowed to freely associate with people you care about
You need permission to do things you want to
You must report where you have been and face accusations that you have been
somewhere else or with someone else
“Fun” gets carried away to the point of hurting you
You are criticized for what you wear or how you look or talk…you are verbally belittled
Your family or friends are criticized or made fun of
You are pressured to do things that you do not approve of, morally, sexually, etc.
You feel you can’t ever let your guard down or just be yourself
You are blamed for the abuse… it’s all your fault
