If you are abused:

You are not alone and you are not to blame. You cannot control his violence. There are ways to make yourself safer:

Call the police if you have been assaulted, charging abusive males is a necessary step in reducing physical violence
Consider ending the relationship as soon as possible. Without intervention, his violence will increase in frequency and severity as time passes.
Develop a safety plan.
Memorize emergency numbers.
Keep spare house and car keys handy.
Recognize that no one has the right to control you and that it is everyone’s human right to live without fear.
