Although I am not a doctor, my advice comes from a combination of personal experiences and treatment given to me by professionals. Leaving someone controlling and / or may be offensive (and usually is) a dangerous situation, so that more than anything else, you want my hotline to your local domestic violence and help in finding a therapist, your search for help. It really helps to get out of these places have, how they can help you find shelter, clothing, counselingand more, all for the asking. The help I received from several agencies to leave my ex was all free. Let your fear of these places that scare you. You do not stay in a shelter, if you want. I did not. There are alternatives to everything. It is scary to live on with the violence at home should shelter a place not of fear. Let others help you not only advice, but to get support.
First of all I would like to briefly explain my story. I met a charming,wealthy (or so I thought) business man to a reputable online dating site. We hit it short, I went with him. Over time it became clear to me that he hide something. And, I saw him in lies about many things, big and small. After some snooping, it was revealed that the man was just another woman after the experiment, they left of their money drain. And he had married several times, as he had said. His whole story was a lie. I felt devastated. The more I triedthings to talk to him, the worse our relationship. He became violent, controlling, and would disappear on a business trip, come back with "signs" of another woman. He began to threaten to, and was phyiscally violent. Without the freedom to phone the domestic violence agency gave me, I would have seriously injured or killed. I was in the process of leaving him, that what caused his violent wrath. I was injured, stabbed in the hand with a knife, but fought himand joined in the bathroom when I called the police. They arrested him, I had a temporary restraining order on him and it was done to move my things the next day. Then I was gone for good.
Under that situation, I went to a new city, far away from where he was, and got a new apartment. It took a few days, so I stayed in a hotel, was found to the right place. The first place was not great, but it was sure even if I had to sleep on the floor. All my things were in storage in anotherState. I did not care, it felt good to know that I checked free of the terrible person to intimidate and was trying to hurt me. For me, my two cats who were traumatized but were ok. They adjusted to life in the hotel and to the new location faster than I thought they would. Over time I have a beautiful place, my furniture brought down from storage and bought new furniture. Well, I live on a lake, happy, free from pain.
So, what to do first? Start as much in advance of your move aspossible. Quiet, remove things that you are valuable. Often, perpetrators are things of value to destroy their victims, it's part of their control subjects. Pack a suitcase with the basics and save it too. You'll need it when leaving happened in a hurry. Also, take important papers, photos and documents. Put them in a store or apartment, not to close to your current location. So if you're away, you do not go near the place of the perpetrators. Take only the things thatare not easily noticed when confronted, never tell the offender what you do. Your safety depends heavily on them. It's about self-preservation, you are an adult and do not need to explain to anyone. Quietly call off all attempts to find out what you do and how discreetly removing items as possible.
Quietly and without anger, co-exist with your partner while secretly getting help elsewhere. Keep an even temper, so do not add to the tension to an already tense relationship.Preservation of peace is necessary, as good as you can. Find out about the "cycle of violence." It explains the structure of the tension before a fight, the fight, then the "honeymoon" period afterwards. It is a handout that each domestic violence agency and awards for everyone living with an abusive partner. And it is helpful for understanding the dynamics of the perpetrators, and how to respond. If you can, go to a support group. This way you can discuss with your weekly drivingothers, who are also in difficult situations. A good group, in my opinion is one that hears the stories, but also gives ideas to tackle the situation. Listening to others' stories has helped me gain the strength to leave.
Living with someone insulting you can rob all the energy you consume your thoughts with hopes of a better life later (no, that can not repair it the person, believe me), and make you feel absolutely worthless. Remember, it is the situation you are, and not a definition of the termwho you really are. You're a good man in a bad relationship. Do not learn to. leave of my friends do not get mad at me earlier, they did not understand why I do not just get up and go to a shelter. I had (do not take shelter) Pets and refused to leave them with the perpetrator. I wanted it all so I would leave, and leave nothing behind me, especially my pets. Protect your pets by keeping them with another for safe keeping, if possible. Drug addicts will sometimes killPets because they know they are important to the victim. The people with you leave, be angry if they think you "should", but only you know when the time is right. Sometimes, it takes leave a few dry runs before the actual time, but if you're really fed enough, you will know when and carried out with the person. Remember, the most dangerous time in the relationship, if one is to leave the perpetrator, that's when murder is usually done. You lose control of your reaction andwhatever they can to take control. Take this seriously if you go away. Do not dictate to others if you are willing to trust your own opinion.
Abusive people tend to steer to do, and isolation of their victims. It is sometimes subtle, but in time, the person is slowly controlled separately from friends and family. Each case is different. Be aware, and for this reason it is important to have a confidant you can turn to, because that will have for you. It can be a friendStaff and therapists. Just someone to talk to with bases, who is trustworthy and who say not to touch the perpetrator, what you do. In conversation with others to help you in to not isolate and keep all the stress. In my case I have in another state, and a therapist from the domestic violence from friends. Fight isolation. Give yourself the opportunity to interact, to others, and with them. This gives you a voice, builds your confidence and lets others know when you need helpor not.
When you are ready to go, you enlist the help of people agencies or services are needed to move on to you. A local church helped me for free with light elements, so that I could use my own money to pay one of the leaders of the heavier elements. I moved quickly, not knowing how long the authorities would keep my ex in prison. Call to find out who is ready to help. Shop around for a good movement rates. A man tries to jack the price to move, I told him to get lost. Let's take not move fraudstersAdvantage of your situation in that we not waste any extra payment needed by anyone. Do not be afraid, this is a good time to build your self-esteem by standing up for themselves. Do not tell the offender about all this. Plan your move when you know that your partner will not be around for a long time, at least a few hours. This is a new life, and they need no part of him, not even a part of her.
Pre-plan how to leave with children involved, by talking toSituation of a lawyer. If you can not afford, call around, looking for a lawyer, this is "pro-bono work (free legal advice). They're out there, and you can find them if you are looking for. Or, to go a Legal Aid Society in your area and ask what they do. You are in the big cities, and there for those who can not afford legal representation to help.
Move out of the person's life abruptly, and never look back. If you must go to court against a spouse for allTherefore, take someone with you or ask the court staff, to accompany you to your car if you are afraid of the person. Be proactive to defend you against a victim. I carried pepper spray in the form of a pen that I bought on an online auction. And had also in my home. It's worth getting as far as possible, prepared to attack. Some people take self defense classes. Violence can happen to the eye in a split second, so it pays to be vigilant, if the perpetrator threatens. Do not underestimateThreats. Many people would be thinking of her husband never be able to murder. Sometimes go wrong and violent threats with weapons accidents. Never underestimate the threat or aggression. Ever.
By the vigilance and planning of a new life, you are on your way to a fulfilled life, if it do so. It will not feel good in the beginning, but it gets better, believe me. The time is your friend in this. Remember, you are worth, no one can define, define themselves. InIn the end it's about you take care of themselves and the removal of the victim. Be a winner. It can mean to sleep on the floor of an apartment without furniture for a while, or at a friend's couch, but that's OK. Do what is best for you in the situation. Do not look back, and have no contact with the perpetrator. If you do this, the person will try and make amends to try and win you back, most likely. Do you believe any of it. Housing is an increase of aggression. This is part of the cycle of violence. Theycan do much better. One day at a time.
