Warning Signs List
I decided to post my list of warning signs. If anyone is perusing blogs and stumbles across this list and finds it helpful, please drop me a comment if you can. Do not, if you might be in danger.
Domestic Abuse occurs in four ways;
Man on woman, man on man, woman on man, and woman on woman.
For ease of making this more understandable, I will use they as the abuser and you as the victim.
If they tell you to wear cologne or not to wear it. Or jewelry.
If they tell you not to belong to the year book committee, the football team, the Free the whales group because it will take time away from them
If they tell you what to, or not to wear, "that shirt makes your eyes sparkle and that should be for me."
If they drive dangerously and you ask them to slow down and they won't.
If they threaten your kids, parents, pets, prized possessions, or I will tell your boss something bad about you.
If they call you twenty times a day to say "I love you, where are you?"
If they show up at school when they should be at work (Just to see how you are doing)
If you live together and they move you way far from your family or friends.
If you live together and they make sure there is only one car and no phone for you to use
Do they grab you, pull you, push you, spit on you, slap you, scratch you, or any other form of aggression like that, That is not love.
Are they jealous of every person you talk with
There are more or other forms of these issues. Does it feel mean to you? Does it leave you feeling loved? Would you do that to someone you loved?
If you answered yes to three or more things on that list then things are sliding in the direction of abuse. If you are in school, you can go speak with a guidance counselor.
If you are an adult in the Erie, Pennsylvania area, then SafeNet shelter can counsel with you for free.
