Are there warning signs in a relationship?

A relationship is not healthy when…

• Your value and your accomplishments are belittled;
• Your opinions count for nothing;
• You are called names that are embarrassing, hurtful and degrading;
• Your likes and dislikes are disregarded;
• You are intentionally kept away from family and friends;
• There is extreme possessiveness or jealousy;
• You are threatened;
• You, your family, your work, your church and your friends are disrespected;
• You are pushed, kicked or hurt;
• Your faith is ridiculed;
• Your every move is monitored;
• You are denied access to food, money or other family resources;
• You are blamed for all the problems.
