| In an abusive relationship your Personal Safety is at risk |
|
In an abusive relationship your Personal Safety is at risk. The abuser’s personality is unpredictable at first, however the longer you stay, the more predictable it may become. It is important to try and see a pattern, what triggers the abuser to act in a particular way. In essence this form of personal flexibility (you are adapting to the abusers outbursts) becomes a subtle form of control (you are changing your behaviour because of abusive behaviour). Please don’t become stubborn, remember planning your safety allows you to have an element of flexibility and control. You are managing an abusive situation and successfully stopping more physical abuse. Safety plans need to be considered as if you were planning for a fire alarm. Read through each plan and walk through your home, spotting the potential hazards. Move to different areas of your home and try and imagine what you, would do if you were attacked. Visualise the steps that you would take and the things that you would do. This allows it to be an automatic response if the inevitable happens.
