Call 1-800-799-SAFE: Or local domestic violence shelter or mental health professional who has experience with dv. They can help develop a plan to leave the situation & can help you recover from abuse. The primary goal is to overcome the "brainwashing" of abuse that convinces you that you're worthless, stupid, bad, powerless, etc. Verbal/emotional abuse/control can cause longer-lasting harm than physical abuse.

It is complicated: Deaing with domestic violence can be complicated. Professional help from a domestic violence counselor can be very helpful. Your first objective should be to be safe and if you have children, for them to be safe and then to get guidence from others with more experience in this arena.
