Domestic Violence
- Does a man report having been physically abused as a child?
- Was the man's mother battered by his father?
- Has the man been known to display violence against other people?
- Does he play with guns and use them to protect himself against other people?
- Does he lose his temper frequently and more easily than seems necessary?
- Does he commit acts of violence against objects and things rather than people?
- Does he drink alcohol excessively?
- Does he display an unusual amount of jealousy when you are not with him? Is he jealous of significant other people in your life?
- Does he expect you to spend all your free time with him or keep him informed of your whereabouts?
- Does he become enraged when you do not listen to his advice?
- Does he appear to have a dual personality?
- Is there a sense of fear when he becomes angry with you? Does not making him angry become an important part of your behavior?
- Is there a sense of overkill in his cruelty or in his kindness?
- Does he have rigid ideas of what people should do that are determined by male or female sex-role stereotypes?
Do you think or feel you are battered? If so, the probability is high that you re a battered woman and should seek help immediately. God Bless you, Janis Erickson
