Ask an Advocate: Is Fighting Domestic Violence?
I have a friend who is always fighting with his girlfriend. He puts her down in front of others and calls her names. I don’t think it’s okay, but I don’t know what to say.

Ask an Advocate: I’m Afraid to End My Relationship, What Do I Do?
Dear I Wanna Break Up,
It’s not okay for your girlfriend to be so controlling of what you wear and who you speak to. It’s also not okay that she makes you feel like you always have to immediately respond to her texts and that she went through your phone without your permission.

Ask an Advocate: How Can I Make Her Leave?
If and when she is open to it, encourage her to talk to a domestic violence advocate – either at the local domestic violence program in your area or through the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233).

Ask an Advocate: Can I Get a Restraining Order for Emotional Abuse?
I’ve been dating my boyfriend for almost a year now and our relationship has gotten really bad. My friend thinks I should get a restraining order, but he’s not stalking me or hitting me so I’m not sure if I’m able to get one.
