Does Your Partner?

12/01/2018

It is important to be aware of the warning signs of an abusive relationship early on, but many times, partners become invested in the relationship before they realize what has happened.

Many abusers are described as having a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" personality.  To people on the outside looking in, the abuser may appear to be very friendlly and sociable, but the reality is much different.  

If you experience any of the following, you could be in an abusive relationship.  Please seek help and call SafeHomes 24/7 crisis hotline.
