Your Results

If you answered “Yes” to any of the quiz questions, it may mean you are experiencing controlling or coercive behaviours — key indicators of family and domestic violence. These behaviours can significantly impact your emotional well-being, independence, and sense of safety, even in the absence of physical violence.

It’s important to remember:

  • Your feelings and experiences are valid.
  • You deserve to feel safe, respected, and supported in your relationships.
  • Recognising these signs is a courageous and important first step.
