How Can I Leave an Abusive Relationship?

Though Domestic Violence is dangerous, even lethal, and hurts the whole family, leaving an abusive relationship is not always easy and poses its own dangers.

First of all, the person can be deeply in love with the abuser, hopes the situation is going to change and feels guilty for breaking the relationship, especially if they have children together.

In other cases, the person may be scared to leave because of the abuser’s threatening or harassing behavior. Leaving becomes even more difficult if the victim does not have a job or the support of family and friends to start a new independent life.

If you, or someone you know, is in a violent relationship, or is planning to leave one, it is important to make a safety plan. You can call the RCWTF 24-hour hotline and get help form one of our staff members: 1-866-685-1122.
