I’m in a emotionally/mentally abusive relationship. I was once separated, came back to try again and it’s just not going to work. Last week he put his hands on me. I want to move out, but saving money will take time, especially when you still have bills you need to keep current. Is there help for women trying to get away NOW?

the united states has a lot of battered women’s shelters. Check online, check the phone book, find one and get out!
Once you are out there is food stamps, WIK, and other kinds of assistance.

go to this website. It has the steps to go through, and these steps do take a little bit of time, but if you be proactive about it you can be out of there in a week or two. If you feel like you and your children are in imminent danger then you need to get out of there asap and go anywhere you can, police station, family, neighbor…… etc. But if you want to do it right, I recommend you start taking these steps immediately, that way you’ll be prepared when you’re gone. Good Luck! I applaud your bravery for getting out of there, good job.
Yes, there is help.
Call the information line to your local police. they will put you in contact with a detective and will give you a list of numbers to call for shelter for you and the kids if any.
Shelters are normally in secret places, so you will not be able to let your family know where you are, but you will be able to be in contact with them.
The shelters are temporary, but will allow for you to work, get trained, get assistance, get legal help and so on.
Call them today or just stop into the police station and ask to talk to someone. You can also find a toll free number in the white pages in large bold print in the community resources page.
It depends what State and city you live in(what resources are available.)
Your best bet is to leave..go to a safe place. You don’t want him to be there when you are leaving. If you can, pack some things you need and hide it.
Find a shelter for Domestic Violence Victims. They will have a ton of resources for you. They will help you get a restraining order against your abuser if you need one.
I was in a DV shelter for a while with my kids. I think it was a very good thing to do, I was ready to get away from the abuse(and didn’t want the kids around it.) I went to the Classes and groups they offered and feel it really helped me in healing. I feel strong and like myself more since getting away from my abuser. Domestic Violence is horrible.
As far as the resources I know about..Food Stamps(so you can buy food, some shelters provide food to you), Transitional Housing(some are based on income some are not), There are also outside agencies. You should look up Domestic Violence Agencies in your area.
