The most effective deterrent against an abuser's violence is arrest and prosecution. An abused woman may love her partner and hope the abuse will stop, but no abused woman can change her abuser's behavior. If you are being abused, you can take steps to protect yourself and your children. Woman abuse is not just a family problem. Woman abuse is a crime!
Call the police if you are in danger. You have a right to police assistance. The police must write a report and have you and your children taken for medical care or to a safe place. You are eligible to get an Order of Protection for you and your children.

Leave Melanie, leave. Find a local domestic violence support group -go listen, participate when you are ready. Don't be ashamed to ask for help. You are a victim and I know nobody likes that term but the only way you can unvictimize yourself is to get out no matter what. Take back your power girl. You are a worthwhile human being who deserves to be treated with love and respect particularly by the person who is supposed to be the most important person in your life. Don't make excuses, don't think it will get better (it won't), and don't delay. It is not easy to get out of an abusive relationship and it is sometimes even tougher to stay out of one....but do it anyway - take it day by day-stay in the moment and start loving you. You have plenty of time once you leave to sort things out but the most important thing is to leave and protect yourself and children if you have them. I am very sorry you are going through this, because I've been through it and I know first-hand how painful it was. Life is so much better now. SO much better. I am sending you all my positive energy Melanie....now summon up YOUR energy---and know you have the strength and will to leave and just do it. You are worth it. You are stronger than you know you are. God bless.

Find a way to get away from the abuse. Find a shelter or a good friend. Don't take abuse from anyone.

If your being abused you really should REPORT IT TO SOMEONE THAT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE TALKING TO. YOU ARE BEING VICTIMIZED,and the person will not stop with just you if they get away with it once they will continue until they finally get caught.

If you are married then go to a women's shelter in your area. If you are a teen then call Child Protective Services. The point is, tell someone and get help. If all else fails, call the cops.

Get the hell out and go some where else. Dont go to a friends house, for that may be the first place that person may look. Go to a local shelter or police station.

The only thing for that is to leave. Cause if you stay the abuse is gonna continue.

I think you should tell a counselor at school or someone you trust immediately. I just went through a big ordeal at school with that and i feel much better.
