Sit as far as possible from the batterer. Always make sure other people are around and preferably between you and the batterer. Avoid speaking to the batterer or the batterer’s family members. Be careful in allowing the batterer or family members to visit with the children. Make sure that you are safe when you leave a courthouse or any public place. Batterers often stalk victims to find out where they live, or to punish them for taking legal action. If you print a copy of this material, KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE and away from your abusive partner.
