Hi metismichele, welcome to Psych Central!
I've been looking for sites that address protection from domestic violence. Here are a few links I've managed to find. If your part of the world is outside the US, some of the advice will still apply; you could also contact the sites to see if they can refer you to any for your area.
Controlling & Abusive Relationships (Stanford University)
Develop a Safety Plan (Center For Relationship Abuse Awareness)
Safety Planning (National Domestic Violence Hotline)
5 Ways To Escape An Abusive Relationship (Psych Central, reposted from YourTango)
Best of luck, and please stay safe.
