It can be difficult to know if you are in an abusive relationship and so we have provided a series of questions below to help you determine if the relationship you are in is abusive. In many cases the questions apply when the relationship has ended.
if you can answer ‘yes‘ to any of the below questions, this may indicate you are experiencing abuse.
Abuse is not always easy to identify and can be gradual and not as clear as you would think. All too often the abuser can explain their behaviour away and convince you there is an excuse for what they do. If you haven’t had many relationships it can also be difficult to understand what is ‘normal’. There is no excuse for abuse and you are not to blame for what is happening or has happened to you.
