National Domestic Violence Hotline
Are You Being Abused? Does the person you love:
Threaten to hurt you or your children?
Say it's your fault if he or she hits you, promises it won't happen again, but it does?
Put you down in public or keep you from contacting family or friends?
Throw you down, push, hit, choke, kick, or slap you?
Force you to have sex when you don't want to?
Just one "yes" answer means you're involved in an abusive relationship. If so, you're not alone and you have choices. No one deserves to be abused.
If you or someone you know is frightened about something in your relationship,
please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE
(7233) or TTY 1-800-787-3224.
