Words of Wisdom....

     It is important for abused women to be aware that not only is there help and support available to women who are presently in abusive relationships, but there is continued support once she leaves the relationship. A woman needs positive support whether it be from family, friends, or counsellors who understand the issues of abuse. Information about counselling agencies and support services who understand the issues of abuse can be obtained from a local shelter or family doctor. Surviving in an abusive relationship or leaving one can be terribly frightening. However, there is always continued support available. An abused woman does not need to be alone in her struggle for a life free from abuse.

If you are concerned that the person abusing you may check up on your Internet activities, there are a few steps you can take to help you cover your tracks, including deleting cookies and clearing your browser history (your cache).

      If the person who is abusing you is good on a computer, it may not be safe for you to be visiting sites for abused women. To keep yourself safe you may need to hide your Internet activities and/or visit websites from a safer place such as the public library, school, an internet cafe, or your workplace.
