BellaOnline Forums Relationships Domestic Violence Seeking support

Hi, I am in an abusive relationship at the end wanting and knowing I need to break free. On the edge but can't find the courage to try. Part out of fear, part out of where it will leave me financially. Mostly though out of fear. Worrying what he will do, how I will stay safe, how I will survive on my own. As we all know leaving is easier said than done. Recently started a journal to chronicle my life in an abusive relationship. You can find it at diaryofabuse.livejournal.com If you would like to read. As I have no family here and no real life friends who know of the abuse or I can talk with about the abuse I would like to connect with others for support and friendship and be support to others along the way My email is, imagineourchaos@yahoo.com

Many women's shelters will help you get back on your feet.

I know a local one here provides clothing (we donate to it quite often) and job training. They also help find housing.

The first step is to get out, however.
