Although you can’t control an abuser’s use of violence, you can plan how you will respond to future abusive or violent incidents, prepare for the possibility of an incident happening, and plan how get to safety.
Q: I need help. My husband has been abusive for years, but I’ve never told anyone because I’ve been too afraid he’ll find out I told someone and things will get worse. But I’m fed up. I’m ready to talk. Where do I start? Should I tell someone in my family, or call a shelter or the police? – Anonymous
This month we want to focus on defining what is domestic violence and what kind of services Haven Provides.
