Domestic violence is chronic abuse by one current intimate partner against the other. There is no way to tell for sure if someone is experiencing domestic violence. Those who are battered and those who abuse come in all personality types. Battered women are not always passive with low self-esteem, and batterers are not always violent or hateful to their partner in front of others. Most people experiencing relationship violence do not tell others what goes on at home. Some signs to look for that might indicate domestic violence include:

Injuries and Excuses - Bruises and injuries may occur frequently and be in obvious places.

Absences from work or school - Following severe beatings or other trauma related to violence, the one being battered may take time off from his/her normal schedule.

Low self-esteem - Some battered women have low self-esteem, while others have a great deal of confidence and esteem in other areas of the life (at work or as a mother), but not within their relationship.

Accusations of Having Affairs – This is a common tactic used by batterers as an attempt to isolate their partners and as an excuse for a beating. It could include accusations of looking at other men, wanting to be with other men, or having affairs with the man bagging groceries at the local supermarket.

Personality Changes - A very outgoing person suddenly becomes quiet and shy around his/her partner. This happens because the one being battered “walks on egg shells” when in the presence of the abuser.

Fear of Conflict - As a result of being battered, some may generalize the experience of powerlessness with other relationship. Conflicts with co-worker, friends, relatives and neighbors can create a lot of anxiety, thus it is easier to give in to whatever someone else wants than to challenge it.

Not Knowing What One Wants or How One Feels - For adults or children who have experienced violence from a loved one, the ability to identify feelings and wants and to express them may not exist.

Blaming Others for Everything - The abuse, which usually includes the batterer blaming others for everything that goes wrong, is targeted at a partner or ex-partner.

Self-Blame - You may notice someone taking all of the blame for things that go wrong.

Aggressive or Care-Taking Behavior in Children - Children who live in violent homes may take that experience with them to school and to the playground.

There are no easy answers but there are things you can do to protect yourself.

• Call the police. Assault, even by family members, is a crime. The police have information about shelters and other agencies that help victims of domestic violence.
• Leave or have someone come and stay with you. Go to a battered women’s shelter, Call a crisis hotline (910-641-0444). If you believe that you and your children are in danger, leave immediately.
• Get medical attention from your doctor or a hospital's emergency room. Ask the staff to photograph your injuries and keep detailed records in case you decide to take legal action.
• Contact your family court for information about a civil protection order that does not involve criminal charges or penalties.
  

Guard Your Personal Information

PROTECT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

• Don’t carry your Social Security card in your wallet.
• Give your SSN only when necessary.
• Ask why a SSN is needed, who has access to it, and how it is kept confidential.
• Don’t print your SSN or driver’s license number on your checks.

FINANCES

• Review your Social Security Earnings and Benefits Statement for errors in your annual salary. To order a statement, call 800-772-1213.
• “Opt out” of sharing your nonpublic personal information or credit report information with other businesses.

PROTECT PASSWORDS

• Don’t carry your personal identification numbers (PIN) in your wallet or purse.
• Don’t share PINs or passwords, even with close friends or relatives.
• Avoid using easily available information for your PINs passwords, such as your mother’s maiden name, your or your family members’ birth dates, your SSN, phone number, or series of consecutive numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4).
• Choose a different PIN for each account.

PROTECT YOUR MAIL

• Call 1-888-5-OPT-OUT to stop pre-approved credit card applications.
• Place outgoing mail into a locked mailbox such as a blue postal service box.

SECURITY FREEZE

Stop security thieves from getting new credit in your name. A security freeze prohibits credit reporting agencies from releasing any information about you to new creditors without your approval, making it difficult for an identity thief to use your information to open an account or obtain credit. A security freeze costs $10 per credit bureau but is free fro identity theft victims. (For instructions on how to request a security freeze see our tip sheet, “Freeze Your Credit,” at www.noscamnc.gov.)

Protect Your Information Online

• Never send your SSN or financial account numbers by email or transmit these numbers online unless using a secure website or encryption software.
• Keep spyware and virus protection software up-to-date and install a firewall.
• Secure websites often have an icon in the shape of a lock in the lower right hand corner. A secure website’s address will change from http to https.
• Read privacy policies, and inquire how your personal information will be used.
• Use one low-limit credit card for all online purchases or request a tone-time-use number from your credit card company each time you want to make a purchase online.

Beware of Scams and Frauds

• Never give personal information to telemarketers who call you on the phone. To cut down on unwanted telemarketing calls, sign up for the national Do Not Call registry at 888-382-1222 or www.nocallsnc.com.
• Double-check references for door-to-door sales, home repair offers and other products.
• Verify that charities, businesses, and others who contact you are who they claim to be before you provide any personal information. If you think the request for information is legitimate, hang up and contact the company at a number you know is valid to verify the request.
