Collect evidence of your partner’s abusive behavior

If you are being abused by women follow the following steps to protect you:

• First, get out. Go to a safe house or somewhere else you know you (and your children, if any) will be protected.

 

• If you have children, this may help you argue your case. Police are under legal obligation to protect children in cases of suspected danger.

 

• Don’t respond to the abusive behavior. If you allow the abuser to goad you into reacting, she may call the police and claim you abused her. This can potentially get you arrested.

 

• Collect evidence of your partner’s abusive behavior in a discreet place. Reporting all incidents to the police, keeping a journal complete with witness list, and taking pictures of injuries all provide convincing evidence. When a restraining order or other legal action becomes necessary, evidence is key to success.

 After all is said and done, you will be likely be emotionally exhausted, although free. It will take a while to undo the emotional damage from your experiences, so seek a therapist. She can guide you through the healing process. You can take your life back, and you will smile again.
