Relocation Programs?
by: Mary Graves

Your local shelter, community resources offices, your national agency for victims of domestic violence, may have relocation programs.

Is there any way you could go where he does not know where you are?

Have you considered going into hiding?

What about an order of protection? I do not know the laws in Australia, but, if you could get here, the shelters could help you with so much.

If you just need someone to talk to, my email is mbeetlebug52@gmail.com

You can get out of this trap

A Protection Order will give you some
Relief. Protecting yourself is a priority and it is not selfish. It's a very loving act. Boundaries from unhealthy people is a must! Never give up and always stay strong. You can do these things. My prayers go out to you!

keep your head up
by: Maria Leon

keep your head up. pray a lot. Though it seems hard to get over the physical & mental abuse, whatever God puts in your path He will surely guide you through it. I've been through a lot & I always seem too light up the darkest moments. I feel your pain & I hope you keep faith in your heart to find peace, love, & happiness. Life is to short to dwell on the past even though your past can always interfere with your daily activities & haunt you. Always say to yourself there has to be more to life than this & pray for guidance.

That's terrible. I'm not sure how easy it is, but getting proof of what he's done and filing for a restraining order is definitely a good step. domestic assault is serious.

Break Free Once and For All

Please get a protection order. You are going to have to pursue this with the law if you ever want to be free. You cannot run from him, you can't handle him by yourself. He is not scared of you or your family but I'm sure he's scared of going to jail. I have been through what you are going through. Please consider my advice.
