The first step in breaking a violent pattern in a relationship is to tell
someone. Let someone know about your situation so you can contact him or her
in case you need to leave a dangerous situation. The person you tell may be
a nurse or doctor, counselor or social worker, a close friend or family
member. If you don’t get help the first time, keep talking.
It is important that you break the silence.
