Do you suspect abuse:
- Are your needs and wants respected?
- Are you belittled or put down?
- Are you feeling isolated and kept from family and friends?
- How does your partner talk about other women?

If you are in immediate danger call 911.  The Minnesota Domestic Violence line is 1-866-223-1111.  This will connect you with local crisis lines.
