How do I recognise domestic abuse?

Does your partner:

Constantly criticise you or put you down?
Discourage your relationships with family and friends?
Control all finances and force you to account in detail for what you spend?
Deny you access to money even for household necessities?
Prevent you from working, leaving your home or socialising?
Constantly and obsessively ‘track’ your time and whereabouts?
Constantly accuse you of being unfaithful?
Force you to have sex against your will?
Push/shove, hit, punch, slap, kick or bite you or the children?
Threaten to harm you, the children or your relatives?
Threaten to or use a weapon against you?
Threaten to kill you if you leave?
Anger easily when drinking or taking drugs?
Deliberately / maliciously destroy personal property or other items of sentimental value to you?
