Does the person you love...
Threaten to hurt you or your children?
Say its your fault if he or she hits you, then promises it wont
happen again (but it does)?
Put you down in public or keeps you from contacting family or
friends?
Push, hit, choke, kick, or slap you?
Force you to have sex?
Just one "yes" answer means you're involved with an abusive relationship.
You're not alone and you have choices.
It is hard to make the decision to leave. When you are ready, you need a safety plan. Contact a local domestic violence shelter for assistance.Talk with a trustworthy friend or relative about what is happening. They may be a good source of support.
Pack a bag in advance and leave with friends or relatives. Include cash or a credit card, medication, important papers, a change of clothes for you and your children and favorite toys. Include coins in case you need to use
a pay phone.
Hide extra car and house keys outside your house in case you must leave
in a hurry.
