This is just a friendly reminder to those who are currently living in an abusive environment. Don't ever tell your abuser you're leaving him. Quietly go about making your plans to leave and remain cool in your demeanor so as not to tip him off. Avoid disagreements and potential arguments by choosing to take the high road. Let insults and other hurtful comments roll right off your back.

Think of whatever loose ends you need to tie up before you go, if at all possible. However, if things become volatile and you are unable to pack and go, leave with the clothes on your back and head for the nearest DV shelter.

Be careful and stay safe.
