**If you answered "yes" to 3 or more questions you are experiencing dangerous signs of relationship abuse. Help is available. YOU DESERVE HAPPINESS AND RESPECT!!

ALSO REMEMBER--YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Unfortunately, 25 - 50% of all young adult relationships involve some form of abuse. Often times these destructive relationship dynamics appear slowly over time and you do not realize you are being controlled and manipulated until you are deeply involved in the relationship. You may feel confused and scared about what is going on, but you need to deal with it because the abuse will likely get worse over time. Please find help and support for yourself.

How to Help Yourself:

• You must realize the seriousness of the abuse and make your recovery the first priority in your life
• Talk to trusted friends, family members, or professional counselors to help support you as you entangle yourself from the relationship and regain your former self-esteem that has been temporarily stolen from you..
