Skriv utIf you suspect that a friend or relative is being abused by their partner, you can be observant for the following signs:
- she gets in touch less often and has less time to spend with family and friends
- her partner often calls or texts you to ask where she is and who she is with
- her partner always drives her to and from her work and other activities
- she cancels appointments at the last minute
- you suspect that she is not able to take decisions regarding her own financial situation, or to dress as she wants
- the couple often argue in public and she makes excuses for him afterwards
- furniture and other objects in her home show signs of violence
- she seems reluctant to be alone at home with her partner, perhaps often staying on late at work
You can also be on the look-out for physical signs in the form of bruising, grazing and scratches. She may well laugh them off or avoid giving direct answers if you ask how she came by them.
