Recognizing Tech Abuse
Do you identify with any of the following scenarios?
- Is someone spying on you, or watching everything you do?
- Do they check up on you or demand to know what you’re doing, where you are, and who you’re with? Does it feel like you’re never alone?
- Do you feel pressured to show them your messages or phone, or share your passwords?
- Is someone posting about you online, or threatening to?
- Is someone controlling or limiting your access to your phone, the internet, or other technology?
- Are they trying to get to you through your children’s phone or games?
Do you feel you need to change what you do? - If you have a feeling that something isn’t right, and even if you’ve told someone and they didn’t believe you…
