One of the most important thing you can do to overcome domestic violence is to contact your local Domestic Violence agency. They can, for the most part, help you with shelter, food, counseling, and anything else you might need help with.





Making a plan is also important because when you are in a crisis situation, you need to have a plan to keep you safe.





Educating yourself, so you can be more independent is also important, so you won't have to rely on your significant other to support you.





Individual counseling and support groups can help you find out why you were in the relationship to begin with. This is especially helpful for women who keep getting into abusive relationships. Support groups can help you develop self esteem and knowledge, so you don't feel like you are the only one going through this difficult time.





Books, books, books. Educating yourself about abuse and domestic violence is the key to ending the cycle of abuse that plagues many women.
