Scared after spousal abuse

i'm very scared right now. I just don't want to talk about it at the moment. I'm about to be without internet.

he hit me again yesterday. I already know what ya'll will say, to get help. I am just keeping you posted.

Thanks for that direction Kitt,

Now I get it and know where to look.

Wal, it would be great if you could check in on either board, we will find it. Slow things right down, and deal with one thing at a time for now, or it all just gets too big. So pleased you found the courage to go to the paster, wow, you really are strong to do that.

You have a few of us a lil worried bout you, so please do check in, stay strong, do what is right for you and your pets right now.

Thanks for coming back and posting Wal, if you do loose internet connection, you can use internet cafes, so you can always come and start a thread, or continue with a thread if you want too.

Wishing you all the best Wal, take care

If you expect that we'll tell you to get help, then I would suspect you've already recognized that help might be a good thing. So instead of simply pushing you to get help, I'd like to take the opportunity to remind you that you are (1) not to blame when someone else hits you, (2) you are not alone, you have support from others and far too many others have been in similar situations, and (3) you deserve to be treated better.

If you do at some time decide to make a break for it there are a few things that would help to do in advance if you should have the opportunity. For instance, figure out where you could stay so as to avoid being "found" at the places you frequent. Instead of going to your sister's down the street for instance, it'd be better to go to a friend's place out of state. You'd also want to go to different stores, movie theaters, etc. than the ones he knows you usually go to. Also take a sufficient amount of cash with you as you may need it for food, gas, hotels, etc. and any joint credit cards or bank accounts may be closed without you knowing it. These cards can also be used to track where you've been. Bring any medication you take, some clothes, and maybe one sentimental item. Assume that if/when you leave you'll never be back. It may also help to have a bag prepacked just in case you don't have time to prepare in advance. But don't put a bag in your trunk or closet. Put it in a locker at a gym or train station so that it can't be discovered.

We all know that this is a very difficult time for you and eagerly want to see you in a better place. That being said, only you will know when the right time is to make a move and reach out for the help you deserve. Please keep us posted. We're on your side!

Go to the women's shelter. Go to your pastor . Go to the ER as you will not get in trouble ~ hun, you are already in trouble. I just read your thread in Bipolar. You have lots of people telling you the same thing.
I like that someone advised you to get all your papers together so you can just leave in a hurry but don't continue to be abused. You are to good for that.

You can always go to a library and use the computers so don't stay just so you can have internet connection.

Kindly,

Kitt
