Where do you get help for emotional abuse?
There are shelters everywhere for women who have endured physical abuse. These women definitely need protection! But so do those who are emotionally abused. The abuser is frequently able to convince the abused woman to stay with him – simply by using the right tactics, such as making her feel like trash.
Where does a woman go who has been emotionally abused? The main thing is – where can that woman go to find people who will actually BELIEVE her, and understand the problem, and be able to help?
There are many resources available to women who endure emotional abuse, which can be as damaging or actually more damaging than physical abuse (not to say physical abuse is not as big an issue, I don’t want to give you that impression). Any domestic violence shelter or hotline should be able to give you references and/or help in handling emotional abuse. Since locations are not given where the help is needed, below are three references on line that can be used as guides. The last one will give state-by-state sources for help in the United States, if that’s where the problem is.
Best advice: If this is a repeated problem, and there’s no hope of it getting better, plans to get out of the situation are necessary. Do that. Good Luck.

There are shelters that take in physical & emotionally abused victims. Check the yellow pages or go on line and check your city. Also, if he’s preventing you from leaving I believe your local police dept will have an officer safely escort you from your home. Step up to the plate and be an adult and get your butt out of there especially if you have children.
