If you are being abused, it can be difficult to see any way out. Whatever you decide to do, you think it might just make things worse.You may have been threatened about what would happen if you tried to leave that you'd be found wherever you went, that your children would be taken from you, or even that your children and you would be killed.
People often say you should just leave if you are being abused, but it's not that easy.Lots of things can keep you from leaving fear, worries about money, about where you'll end up, about letting people down, about how you'll cope on your own, about how it will affect your children.
There is help available, from people who understand what you've been going through and won't blame you or judge you.
