Who is at risk?
EVERYONE is at risk!

Unfortunately, there is no one behavior to indicate a batterer. One cannot tell if another individual will be abusive merely by looking at him/her. There are, however, some things to look for when you, or someone you care about, are in a
relationship.

THE ABUSIVE PERSON MIGHT:
Act very jealous
Have a bad temper
Show little or no respect for his/her partner
Demean his/her partner
Have dramatic mood swings
Criticize or embarrass the partner in front of others
Control the money
Dictate his/her partners daily activities
Mistreat or abuse pets/animals
Throw things or intentionally damage inatimate objects
Become physical when things are not done to his/her specifications
History of abuse as a child, or spousal abuse between partner's parents
Drinks heavily or use of drugs

If you notice three or more of these behaviors on a constant basis, the relationship may not be on equal footing; there may not be a balance of power and control in the relationship.
