PARANOIA
Is there someone in their life who becomes jealous without reason--trust issues, overly jealous, accusations of cheating? Do you know someone living like this?

ISOLATION
Is someone you know being cut off from family and friends? Are they being prevented from seeing anyone they want?

CONTROLLING
Have you seen someone being “controlled?” Told who to talk to, where and when to go somewhere or what they CAN’T do. That person is being intimidated and manipulated

BELITTLING
Have you seen someone embarrassed in front of others? Are they being insulted, called names and made to feel worthless by a particular person?

PHYSICAL ABUSE
Have you seen someone being abused? Physically, mentally, OR emotionally. Talk of hurting pets, outbursts of anger, forcing someone to do something they do not want to.

DIGITAL ABUSE
Cell phones are so common these days, but can also be a tool for digital abuse. Do you know someone who has their emails and texts read against their wishes or their social media passwords stolen or coerced out of them? Abusers often threaten to expose secrets or private photos of their girlfriend/boyfriend.

CHANGE IN APPEARANCE
Have you seen someone start wearing clothes that are uncharacteristic – or stop wearing something they loved? Have they also stopped or started wearing different makeup? Do these changes not seem like their decision?

THREATS
Is someone you know being subjected to threats? A partner threatening suicide in order to manipulate, threats to hurt them or their family members, threats to hurt animals or pets?
