  • Threatening you, your children, your friends, your family or your pets
  • Hitting, kicking, or slamming doors
  • Forcing or coercing you to have sex
  • Calling you names, swearing at you, yelling
  • Controlling all the money, even money you earn
  • Blaming you or your children for everything
  • Putting you down, making you feel like nothing you do is ever good enough
  • Controlling where you go, what you do, what you wear, who you see, who you talk to
  • Refusing to let you leave the relationship
