Love is Respect.org is a website dedicated to helping people understand healthy and unhealthy relationships, recognize warning signs of abuse and control, and finding the help they need for themselves or others.
It contains quizzes to help you understand the quality of your relationship, it does a great job of explaining what abuse looks like, and it also helps give tips to the viewer for hiding that they've visited a site like this from your abuser.
