here's something that I've found from the web site: (http://heart-2-heart.ca/women/page1.html)

I'ts quite inspiring and educational:

How do you feel around your partner?

Do you feel nervous around him? 

Do you have to be careful to control your behavior or what you say to avoid his anger/temper?

Do you feel pressured by him when it comes to sex?

Are you afraid of disagreeing with him?

Does he make you feel ashamed, embarrassed or humiliated?

Does he make you feel like you are wrong, stupid, crazy, worthless, or inadequate?

Do you ever feel scared around him because of his violent or threatening behavior?

Do you often do things to please him, rather than to please yourself?

Do you feel that nothing is ever good enough for him?

Feeling scared, humiliated, pressured or controlled is not the way you should feel in a relationship. If you have those feelings listen to them. They are telling you that something is very wrong with your relationship.

"Emotional abuse is underneath all other types of abuse. The most damaging aspect of physical, sexual, mental etc. abuse, is the trauma to our hearts and souls from being betrayed by the people that we love and trust." - Robert Burney
