spousal abuse

carkfum: I've been online and calling hotlines for 3 hours now. The phonelines all ask me to leave a message(??!!??) and the chat rooms are defunct. Where does one go to communicate with people who won't ask what I did to derserve it?

Hyenablood: the police have many resorces at their finger tips, woman's groups, woman's shelters in your area, there must be 1-800 numbers in your local phone book that are free to call places that someone can talk to you, at anytime.
Also these groups have survival stragies that can assist you in a moment of crisis, if you want to leave\excape, or simple live through the next blow-up.
It isn't your fault, you did nothing wrong and you are not a bad person, you are smart, beautiful and do not deserve to be yelled at or blamed or even hit.

stargazer73: I agree with every part of that! You did NOTHING to deserve it and ANYONE could get into that situation as it happens slowly beginning with verbal abuse usually first. You are worth the life you want!

Leon35: First off - do not think you can change him, that you can not live without him, that he needs help, NO - you need to file a police report now, leave him now, protect yourself now. Good luck !!

nurse_kaz: ive been through this before. i left it too late. im telling you, you need to get away, there should be a womans refuge or some womens groups that deal with these sorts of issues. i struggled with this for 18months. its taken me 4 yrs to seek help. i just wish that i got help sooner. i felt better after i left, i was losing my mind as i call it. pack ur bags and leave and dont look back. go to the police and make a statement while you can or get an intervention order.
