When breaking away from an abuser, things are going to get worse before they get better. Abuse is all about control. And by leaving you are ending that control. He's not exactly going to like that. He might fall apart, cry and beg you back or he might get violent. First and foremost you need to figure out where you're going to stay once you leave. Call the National Domestic Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE Their website is: http://www.ndvh.org/ ~ T Excellent advice. It should also be noted that many communities have battered woman shelters where you can go and be protected. You will be safe there if you can move into one in your area. Otherwise, just get away and don't tell him where you're going.
The best thing that family can do for a substance abuser is stage an intervention. Once that intervention has been staged, present the abuser with the opportunity to go to rehab.
i am not afraid to die and you shouldn't be either. it is a natural process that eventually happens to everyone.as long as you do good things in your life you will be in heaven when you die.
They do it very skilfully. It means that they must be able to know how to put on a convincing act.
Everyone is afraid of different things, that just happens to be what your afraid of!
No. But I am afraid of things that go bump in the night.
Don't give up hon! There is help out there for you. I volunteer for a Women's Abuse Center, and when your abuser is at work, you leave with just a few things and go to the Abused Women's Center. They will ask you questions (don't be ashamed and don't be afraid to let it all hang out ... that's what the kleenex on the counselor's desk is for.) They will put you through a process right away and you will NOT go back to your abuser, but be put in a "Safe House" or "Transition House." There you will receive counseling, help in courts, and programs to take so you can better understand abuse and learn new tools to deal with leaving your abuser and not picking another abusive mate. Shoot for the stars girl! You're worth it! Good luck Marcy
All children are afraid of two things from birth: falling and loud noises. This means they are usually afraid of things like fireworks, thunder, and roller coasters. As children grow older, they become afraid of different things depending on what they have been exposed to -- animals that have been mean or scary, situations where they have been afraid, or things that adults or other children have told them they should be afraid of. These things are going to be different depending on the individual person. Most children are afraid of the dark because they don't know what's out there (it might be a closet monster!) and of strangers because adults nowadays tell them that strangers might hurt them (true) and you don't know which ones are good and which are bad.
high strung, bad temper, high anxiety and likes to break things and/or punch things when mad.
If you live in another county or town then go further away and retain a lawyer to see what your rights are. Be prepared to pack your things when your abuser is not around and find out where the closest Women's Shelter is wherever you decide to go. You should discuss this with other family members because they are obviously nervous that the abuser or the police officer could make trouble for them. If you live in a large city then go to another district of the city and retain a lawyer.
