My ongoing exposure to domestic violence

27. you need to end the relationship. please

this is precisely the type of situation that ends in tragedy. you and your children are in DANGER. leave yourself if you cannot persuade him to do so.
when you end the relationship make sure you have help close by. but do, do end the relationship.
do you have family? swallow your pride, forget feeling humiliated. ask for help.
this is a life changing time for you and your children. please keep us posted. and please get out. now.
if you think there is a chance that you can stay safely in the home, wait until he is gone and change all the locks. be ready to call 911 and be prepared to press charges if you must. gather the proof that the place is yours. but you may not be able to stay there and stay alive. choose to stay alive.
my daughter was killed, run over by a car. i attended counseling for years with loved ones of homicide victims. most were drive by shootings (this was in los angeles), but others were domestic violence. most of the families had never really believed he would kill her. but he did. maybe the women themselves never really believed he would kill her. but he did. you may believe he would never really kill you. but he could.
get out. please.
