"What To Do When Your In A Domestic Violence Relationship"

Most victims of domestic violence are scared to report an abusive incident. This is because they fear that their partner will later on find out they have reported it and will just increase his brutality. What they do not realize is that there are a lot of agencies and individuals willing to give a helping hand to whatever emotional and legal support you need. Victims must realize that help is there for them to ask.
Call 911 or your local police. If you are a victim of abuse, do not let yourself suffer. The minute your partner put a fist on your face, report it. The police already know what to do for this type of abuse. If you think your abuser has cut off all the communications at home, HAVEN may be able to provide you with a cell phone that is programmed to only call 911.
You need to consider the following:
(1) If you are in danger when the police come, they can protect you.
(2) They can help you and your children leave your home safely.
(3) They can arrest your abuser when they have enough proof that you have been abused.
(4) They can arrest your abuser if a personal protection order (PPO) has been violated.
(5) When the police come, tell them everything the abuser did that made you call.
(6) If you have been hit, tell the police where. Tell them how many times it happened. Show them any marks left on your body. Marks may take time to show up. If you see a mark after the police leave, call the police to take pictures of the marks. They may be used in court.
(7) If your abuser has broken any property, show the police.
(8) The police can give you information on domestic violence programs and shelters.
(9) The police must make a report saying what happened to you. Police reports can be used in court if your abuser is charged with a crime. (10) Get the officers names, badge numbers, and the report number in case you need a copy of the report.
(11) A police report can be used to help you get a PPO.

You may be confused or embarrassed of what you are going through but it is important to tell your family, friends and co-workers. If you are a victim of abuse, get support from friends and family. They can provide support and shelter for you and your children. If you are able to leave the abuser, it is best to stay with relatives as they can give you protection without causing more conflict with your partner.

Not wanting to leave the home you built is understandable. What’s not understandable is you prolonging your suffering. It’s certainly not fair, but if you are a victim of abuse, your safety is important. If the home you built is not a safe place for you and your children to stay, move away and find a safe place. HAVEN can put you in touch with different city or state that provides shelter for the victims of abuse.

If you are a victim of abuse and have been physically hurt, get medical help, go to the hospital or your doctor. Domestic violence advocates (people to help you such as social services) may be called to the hospital. They are there to give you support and access to government agencies. You may ask medical staff to call one for you.
Medical records are important in grating you a PPO. These records will show all the important information about your injuries. You must also inform those who you feel safe to know about who your abuser is.

The following are the special medical concerns all the victims of abuse should note:
(1) Sometimes you may not even know you are hurt.
(2) What seems like a small injury could be a big one.
(3) If you are pregnant and you were hit in your stomach, tell the doctor. Many abusers hurt unborn children.
(4) A victim of abuse can be in danger of closed head injuries. This is because their abusers often hit them in the head. If any of these things happen after a hit to the head, get medical care right away.
(5) Memory loss.
(6) Dizziness.
(7) Problems with eyesight.
(8) Throwing-up.
(9) Headache that will not go away.

If you are a victim of abuse, get a personal protection order. It can protect you from being hit, threatened, harassed, or stalked by your abuser.

PYSIH "People you'll see in Hell" PYSIH

PYSIH is no doubt the most unbelievable websites in the world. Now their on TWITTER, I’ll follow them to the end of the world. When I heard that PYSIH was suspended for a few days back in January I almost lost it. How dare anyone suspend PYSIH.

I’m addicted to these guys, and will be a loyal follower for many years to come. They address the harshest, lowdown, and disgusting criminals. One was a fool that I was associated with, “Mansa Musa Muhummed” which PYSIH did an excellent job of covering that story. Never have I ever heard such truth, heart to heart honesty.

They expose some horrible crimes going on everyday all around the world. Crimes we would never get to hear about on our local news or even CNN.

I get to read hundreds of true stories, even my own story, make comments, and get feedback, I do mean feedback. All the staff will comment back to you. -That in it self is special. Their family. Love Ya PYSIH and keep on writing the truth.

This is why I fight for DOMESTIC VIOLENCE........

http://www.carolyn-thomas.com/

My name is Carolyn Thomas and this is my story. I was born in Midland, Texas, on July 26, 1970. Raised by my grandmother and mother. I grew up in a strong, faith environment and attended church on a regular basis. During high school I participated and excelled in track and drama.I grew up carefree and enjoyed spending time with my friends and mom. After graduation from Midland High School, I moved to Waco, Texas. I attended a local community college. I later decided to explore the workforce in Waco and worked various jobs.In 1995, I met the man who would change my life forever. Throughout our eight year relationship, I was caged from the outside world. I experienced helplessness, powerlessness, isolation, control, manipulations, fear, intimidation, and loss of self by an abusive partner on various levels. The abusive relationship progressed to a lethal plateau over time.On December 5, 2003, I suffered catastrophic facial injuries when my abuser shot me at point-blank range. I was not expected to live. By God's hand I survived. I had 11 reconstructive surgeries at Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas over a two year period. While recovering I discovered my purpose, to tell my story to all willing to listen.
