Although it seems that you face impossible odds of escaping your abuser, there are many people at American Domestic Violence Crisis Line that care about you and what  happens to you.

American Domestic Violence Crisis Line has services and programs developed to meet your needs should you decide to return to the  United States

You are not alone and it is not your fault.

The blame for someone else's inability to cope does not lie with you.

In the end, only you can make the decisions and  take the steps necessary to set you free. You have the right to feel, to think and to make choices. Start thinking about yourself in a new  way:

I am not to blame for being beaten and abused

I am not the cause of another person's violent behavior

I do not like it or want it

I am an important human being

I am a worthwhile woman

I deserve to be treated with respect

I do have power over my life

I can use my power to take good care of myself

I can describe for myself what is best for me

I am working for and changing for me

I can make changes in my life if I want to

I am not alone anymore, I have others who can  help me

I deserve to make my own life safe and happy

My children deserve a life free from violence
