The Dangers of Leaving

The Dangers of Leaving

Leaving doesn’t always mean the danger is over, in fact, the first 72 hours after leaving an abuser can be the most dangerous. This isn't meant to scare you into staying but it is to prepare you for the possibility.

When an abuser loses control, their behavior can escalate to, stalking, harassment, threats, even manipulation through children or friends.

Please know none of this is your fault. Their actions are about power and control, not love.

That’s why having a safety plan matters. Here are a few tips mentioned in today's episode:

Tell someone you trust where you are.

Change passwords and turn off location tracking. If you can swing it purchase new devices.

Keep important documents safe. Give to a trusted friend or family member if need be.

Save any threats or messages and reach out for help. Creating a paper trail is so important!

If you’ve just left, please know that it’s okay and normal to feel scared, confused, or even guilty. Healing takes time, and support is out there.

If you’re in danger or need help:In the U.S., call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org.

Internationally, visit hotpeachpages.net to find help in your country.

You are not alone.

You deserve safety, peace, and freedom.

Stay safe and God bless,

Mel
