Wondering if your relationship is healthy?
If something doesn’t feel right in your relationship, trust your instincts. Abuse isn’t always physical—sometimes it’s emotional, financial, or controlling. This short questionnaire can help you recognize warning signs and decide if it’s time to reach out for support. You are not alone.
You deserve safety and respect.
Our relationships and families should offer love, care, support, and safety. But sometimes, that’s not our experience. Take a moment to reflect:
Does your partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, friend, caregiver, or family member:
☐ Make you feel uncomfortable or afraid?
☐ Often put you down, humiliate you, or make you feel worthless?
☐ Constantly check up on what you’re doing or where you are going?
☐ Try to stop you from seeing your own friends or family?
☐ Make you feel afraid to disagree or say ‘no’ to them?
☐ Constantly accuse you of flirting with others when this isn’t true?
☐ Control household finances or stop you from having money for yourself?
☐ Stop you from getting medical help or seeing a doctor?
☐ Scare or hurt you by being violent (hitting, choking, smashing things, locking you in, driving dangerously)?
☐ Pressure or force you to do sexual things you don’t want to do?
☐ Threaten to hurt you—or themselves—if you try to leave?
☐ Have your children seen or heard these things, or been hurt themselves?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you may be experiencing abuse. You deserve safety, respect, and care. Abuse can be physical, emotional, financial, or sexual—and all forms are serious. NewStory Center is here to listen, support you, and help you explore your options.
