Rosetta Stone,

Please take it from someone who has been and is there even though I have been divorced from the man for 5 yrs I sometimes think I will have to die before he stops. It is best to get away early and not to depend on protection orders or police, court system, etc....I know they work for some just not for me. But this is not about me, just listen to your instincts that brought you here to post in the first place and know that an abuser will always turn it around and make it your fault because you MADE him mad or you MADE him hit you and while I'm still trying to deal, I hope that you will get away right now!!!
