INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Remember well the kind of situation that you were in and what led you down that path. Do your best to avoid making the same mistake again with a new partner by learning to spot signs of abusers. Although you can't be certain when starting a new relationship whether or not your new partner will be abusive, abusers do tend to have some common tells, such as:  Very emotionally intense, emotionally volatile, or bottling his emotions Co-dependent (an unhealthy dependency on a relationship or person) Charming A former victim of abuse An alcohol or drug abuser Controlling of you and/or others Judgmental Unwilling to compromise Pushes for quick commitment or involvement Cruelty to animals or children "Playful" use of force in sex or demanding sex when you are ill, tired, or not in the mood Believes in rigid sex roles Be aware that an abusive person may be extremely charming and loving at first, showing no signs of being an potential abuser. An abuser may use certain tactics to keep you in the relationship, creating an imbalance until she holds all the power. Some of these tactics include:  Making and/or carrying out threats of violence Threatening to leave, to commit suicide, to report you to welfare Smashing things or destroying property, displaying weapons or harming pets Calling you names, playing mind games, putting you down, making you think you're crazy Isolating you from friends and family or forcing you to constantly check in with your whereabouts, what you're doing, and who you are with Making light of the abuse or saying it didn't happen Taking money or not allowing access to money, preventing you from getting a job Threatening to take away children, using children to relay messages Do your best not to look back, or else you might get sucked back in into the same vicious cycle you have left. Try to keep the future in mind; think of all the options that are exciting for your life! Thinking about the future can provide you with new meaning for your life. Try to think about what you might want to do with your life now that you are out of your abusive relationship. Brainstorm by writing down on a piece of paper some things that you wanted to do that your abuser denied you. Avoid becoming isolated; being in an abusive relationship can leave you without friends or close family.  Reach out to old friends and family; suggest going for coffee or dinner or something else fun that you both enjoy. Having social support can help you feel less isolated, thereby being more likely to break the cycle of abuse, and can also reduce stress. You can also try making new friends at your work place, gym, or any other social gathering. Just ask someone if they want to hang out! What have you got to lose? You may find it helpful to join a community of people who have gone through similar cycles of abuse. These people may have a unique ability to empathize with your situation. To find a domestic violence support group, you can try looking online, ask your therapist or counselor (if applicable), or look in your local newspaper. You may find that therapy helps you to recover from some of the emotional pain you have endured. Therapy may also help you break the cycle of abuse for good. Therapy may be additionally beneficial in that it can help you formulate a concrete plan for your future that keeps happier and more fulfilled, and less dependent on others.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Now that you know who to contact in the event of abuse, do so! Provide them with factual statements (preferably written) of what was seen, what happened, where it happened, when it happened, how it happened, etc. If you have any videos, pictures, recordings, etc, offer them to whomever you speak to. Many agencies have computerized reporting systems that will take your report online. You may have the opportunity to upload any video or photos you have taken. You will be encouraged to provide as much detail as you can about the incident you are reporting. If you don't wish to meet an agent or be involved in the case you can do anonymously, but the case would best be pursued if there was a credible witness. If your report leads to an arrest and prosecution, you may be asked to testify. After you have filed your report, keep a precise written record of who you spoke to, when you spoke to them, and what the outcome of that discussion was. If nothing came of it try contacting someone else, ask to speak to a supervisor, or, if not already there, contact the local police. If you don't receive a reply in a reasonable amount of time, call back, or contact another agency.

SUMMARY:
Make the call. Report online. Keep records. Follow up.
