A: Trust me on this - if you are being abused, do it and don't look back. Get away from the abuser at whatever cost. Leave your stuff if behind if you have to, just get yourself out of there. Things will not get better by staying in the situation you are in. Lean on a family member or friend. If you need help or cannot muster the courage to leave your situation, cal Women's Advocates at l 651-227-8284 and ask for help. Make the call, report the behavior, put your life in the right direction.
