When thinking about escaping the relationship, there are many things to consider. When initially leaving, it is important to visualize and execute a solid exit plan. When leaving, make sure to bring all of your belongings, or as much as you can, but especially wallets and forms of identification. After leaving it is important to stay with someone you trust and feel safe with. When the time comes to get a place of their own, it is important that victims have good locks and a support system. It will also be helpful to let people in social circles, work and family know the situation to offer additional support. If staying with someone or alone is unattainable, find a shelter and join support groups.
