What is the best way to stay safe in a domestic violence situation?

Answer 1

There is no way to stay safe, you pry know him better than any of us could and if you dont know the answer to that then honey there is no answer.It took me a year and almost getting killed to learn there is no safe way.It is scarey and easy for people to say what they will like leave and get out.Get a plan and dont tell anyone if you dont tell he cant find out.If there are kids involved you need to realize that hes a good father is no excuse.It will get worse It will escalate and there is no clear answer.Family resources has a 1 800 number you can call look in your phone book! Ask them how to get out?Alot of the time the person you are talking to has been in your position before and they are now trying to help others.Anything you do will come from your inner strength and everyone needs to know that they are worth more than what is happening to them.they deserve more.And if you love this man, then love him enough to help him get help.But love yourself to demand better.I will pray for you and I wish you the best of luck.Keep your head high.

Answer 3

There are domestic violence shelters that you can go to they will help you, You can email me I will help you find one. I have been in this relationship and no good will come from staying if he has hit you he will do it again, once you get into a shelter they will hook you up with a cell phone that ONLY dials 911 they will help you with a restraining order and divorce papers and get you legal advice if you have kids they can go to the shelter too..they will help you feed you clothe you and keep you safe..Dont stay another minute. You are worth more then this and I am sure he has made you feel like you cant make it without him but you CAN.. you just need to get out of it. Please get away from him we dont want to read in the obituarys tomorrow about another woman who didnt leave when she had the chance.. its up to you.!!

Answer 4

If physical abuse is involved, I'd say immediately call 911.

If it's an ongoing situation, I'd say the best thing to do is to make plans to remove yourself from the situation without letting the assailant know. Reach out to family and friends (not connected to the assailant). Also, Look into calling a hotline for more immediate advice and resources and also look into calling a shelter. Here's a link with information for your state:

If you're a friend to someone is such a situation, don't try to force the friend to talk or leave, they may close up. Leave it open for them to talk by letting them know they can talk to you about anything they need to. Good luck!

Answer 5

You are only fooling yourself if you think you'll ever be really safe in a domestic abuse situation. They only get worse, they do not get better, even with all the promises. You need to understand that the person is truly sick. Many females are killed in the US each day, and the next one could be YOU. It only takes once for the abuser to lose full control, and your dead! Leave while he is gone, their are places you can hide. Call for help, you won't regret it. The abuser wants you to be just as sick as him, it's his main objective in life!!

Answer 6

You need to get out and as soon as possible. Start by putting some money aside, make a plan on where you could go such as family or friend's house. When you are with this person try to avoid him as much as possible. Stay in a different room and try to avoid any conflict with him. You do not deserve to be physically or mentally abused. Best wishes to you.

Answer 7

sneak out when you can. do not take any credit cards (cut them up later and ask for replacements with new numbers) because they can be traced. Take as much money as you can out in cash. ask a friend to take you to a shelter. (if you stay with a friend he will find you there and endanger your friend) take out a restraining order. send the kids (if there are any) to a relative's house and make sure the relative knows the situation so that the kids can be protected (lots of abusive spouses will abduct the kids to get the abused spouse out of hiding)

Battered shelter usually can help you accomplish all this very quickly.

Answer 8

Call your local sheriff's department. Ask them for the number to the battered women's shelter in your area. They will give you the guidance and teach you the strength to get back on your feet.

Do not stay there any longer!! You may end up dead. Violence never gets better, it only escalates!!

Good Luck!!

Answer 9

there is no way to stay safe in that situation. leaving, no matter how hard or overwhelming, is the only way to start being safe.

Answer 10

Try not to provoke the crazy person and try to escape. call 9 1 1 if possible but not if they are right there and it might provoke them. stay calm. if u get worekd up they might feed off ur enregy adn get even wrose.
