Emergency plan: you should have one. Emergency plans and recognizing the abuse cycle. http://www.mayoclinic.com/invoke.cfm?id=WO00044 "Getting ready to leave: Use a safety plan Leaving an abuser can be dangerous. You're the only person who knows the safest time to leave. Make sure you prepare a safety plan so that you can act quickly when the time is right. Consider taking these precautions: * Arrange a
safety signal with a neighbor as an alert to call the police if necessary. As part of a safety plan, avoid making long-distance phone calls from home because the abuser could trace the calls to find out where you're going. And the abuser may be able to intercept your cell phone conversations using a scanner. Switch to a corded phone if you're relaying sensitive information. Also, be aware that the abuser may be able to monitor your Internet activities and access your e-mail account. Change your passwords, get a new e-mail account or access a computer at a friend's house or a local library." http://www.kcsdv.org/safetyplan.html http://lawschool.unm.edu/clinic/resources/domestic-violence/plan.htm
