YES, please contact a shelter & you'll get help. You do not deserve to stay in an abusive relationship, you have to take care of yourself & protect yourself. I've been there, I too well know what you're going thru. It is not worth it taking your life in your hands & not knowing what the result w/be. Be thankful there are no children involved that can be hurt in any way from him. It w/leave no scars on innocent children. PLEASE get help immediately & call an emgcy. 800 no. if there is one in your area. If not, you can call the police & they can refer you to one. Be thankful you've gotten out in time w/your life. Others are not as fortunate as you. Out of respect for yourself, which you so deserve, do something immediately. I wish you the VERY BEST! You w/be OK once you're on your own & can put the past in the past & start a whole new beginning. You CAN DO IT, you've already made the first move twds. doing it...

In every city there are shelters for abused women. No, you do not have to have children to enter the shelters. If you can not find one in the phone book call your local sheriff's department ( not 911) and tell them you need to contact a shelter for battered and abused women. Do this ASAP as abusers DO NOT ever stop. No matter what he promises, he WILL do it again. Please seek help from the people who are trained to help you with this. They are there to help you. Good luck. Hope it works out well for you!

You definitely don't need to have children to get into a protective shelter. I will pray for you, sweetie. You are being strong and doing what you have to do.

Woman's shelters take woman without children. You will be just fine. Be strong, you are doing the right thing. Woman's shelters have resources in which to help you get on your feet, when you get there, ask them questions and get information. Things will work out for you, keep your head up.

Move back to your family and friends. Have a restraining order put out against him. Go to legal aid and start a divorce they go by your income I didn't have anything. Shelters will take you with or without kids. They have places that hide abused women out too.

Call a women's shelter. They aren't going to turn away any woman trying to escape an abusive situation. Good luck and stay focused.
