Hey guys, I need some advice. I’m in a tough situation with my husband, who has been abusive in the past. I have three kids, and I’m worried about their safety. I want to leave, but I don’t know where to start. Any thoughts or experiences shared would be appreciated.
You really need to contact a domestic violence shelter. They can help you plan your escape safely. It’s crucial to have a solid plan in place.
Yeah, definitely call the police whenever he gets violent. Document everything. It’s hard, but it’s important for your safety and the kids’.
You could consider going to your mom’s for a bit. It might give you the space to think and plan. Just know that when you leave is often the most dangerous time, so be careful.

I’m really scared about leaving, honestly. What if he finds us?

That’s a valid fear. Talk to the shelter about safety plans. They’re experienced with this and can help you figure out the best steps.
It’s so important to prioritize your kids’ safety. If you feel he’s a danger, take action before it escalates again. You’re not alone in this.
Just remember, it’s common for victims to minimize what’s going on. Don’t feel guilty for wanting to protect your kids. You deserve a safe environment.
