Acknowledge the reality that you are being abused. Talk to
your doctor, nurse or other medical worker. They can help you.
If you are injured by battering, have photographs taken of your
injuries. If you get medical attention, keep all records.
But remember, you do not have to be injured so severely that you
require hospital treatment in order to be considered a victim of
domestic violence.
Talk to a counselor or victim advocate who can help you develop a
safety plan. If you are planning an emergency escape, collect
your important documents - driver's license, passport or green card,
child(ren) birth certificates, social security cards, keys, etc.
Put aside some cash as you are able. Pack a small bag of
clothes and leave it with a friend you can trust.
Contact a friend or supportive family member who you can stay with.
