I need help if anyone can tell we what to do> I am 23. Living with my boyfriend 2000miles away from anyone I know. He has done everything in his power to hurt me lately. After six years two months ago is the first time he has hit me and threw my things out. I don't know where to go. Who can help me or what to do.

If you call your local ER, or go to the ER, they will have the number for a secret women's shelter in your area. These numbers and addresses aren't usually in phone books, because they like to keep the location secret to prevent the abuser from finding you.
Don't write any of this information down, and make sure he can't find this question on the computer. The abuse will get worse if he knows you've talking to anyone about it, and are thinking of running.

Well, all you have to do is look up the city mission.... then call them, and tell them what is going on, and they can get you help.... they can get you connected with the womens shelter. Don't wait till you change your mind... trust me i know. RIGHT NOW pick up the phone and call information and get the number. They have programs and you will get soooo much help, you don't have to worry. Don't waste your life on an asshole, there are men out there that would treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Good luck , and hold your head up.

I think you should have called 911 when he hit you the first time and had his sorry butt thrown into jail.. now he thinks that you will put up with it. Your family may not be as bad as you fear, but if you really can't go to them call the local police station and they will get you in contact with a shelter somewhere. I hope you don't have kids with this moron and let them be witness to dad's behavior and moms tolerance of it thus far....

Embarrassing or not, go back to your family. I'm sure they are 2000 miles away worrying about you. If you show up on the front step with your stuff, I'm sure they'll let you in and never give you the "I told you so" that you fear. You were 17 when you got with this guy...everyone thinks they can make it on their own at that age. Your family will not begrudge you for being young. They will be pissed when they have to claim your body 2000 miles from home to bring you home and bury you.

Look in your yellow pages for women's shelter, shelter, battered and abused women or call none emregency police line and ask for information on women's shelter. And a word of advice, make sure this is what you want to do. If you go to a shelter and he finds out and you go back to him. He could hurt serverely. Please make sure this is what you want and don't be afraid to get the police involved at least for a restaining order

call your local police in your state and let them know you are in serious trouble and ask for a shelter near you and dont go back home it will not get better,he will not change and you dont need that in your life,you are better than that and deserve better in the long run. no matter what your boyfriend tells you, he does not love you,he is not sorry, and it will happen again,only much serious he is just trying to get you back so he can have control of you and hit you again good luck to you

Get out.
Bus tickets home are cheap. There are shelters in your area, but w/out info I can't give them to you. Ask the police. Get a restraining order & HIDE.
Embarassment is nothing compared w/ what could happen. My mother stayed w/ my father & ended up dying because of a beating she took from him.
