Hi!

I was a victim of domestic abuse. I was verbally abused and physically abused by my son's father. You can get help. You need to go to the police to get help with physical abuse. They can help you initially and have your partner arrested. Once your partner is arrested, you need to leave your house if you share a home with your abuser. Also, you need to take pictures of your injuries and go to a Doctor Who can diagnose your injury. You would have to take a copy of your diagnosis from your doctor. You will be needing this when you go to court and your pictures to get a restraining order.

If you have a child with your abuser, you could get more help than if you didn't have a child. Your doctor could refer you to different organizations that can help you as well. The police can also give you a referral. I hope this helps you, and promise yourself to stay away from your abuser. You know I fought my abuser till he had no penny in his pocket. I showed him how powerful women could be through the law. You can do this. You absolutely can get legal help, but I had to pay for my lawyer. My lawyer cost me too much money, and at that time I didn't have a job. With child custody case and restraining order and child support, I spent about 20 thousand dollars. I had to hire a private investigator because the mediators were going to give my son's father overnight visits. Of course, I could not allow that. So, I hired a private investigator to reveal all my abuser's secrets. Abusers are good in manipulating people. He was able to manipulate all court assigned mediators. I won in the end, through perseverance, revenge, and prayers.
