Sin embargo, salir de tal relaci\u00f3n rara vez es sencillo y puede incluso ser m\u00e1s peligroso que permanecer si no est\u00e1s bien preparado.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">En esta gu\u00eda, exploraremos c\u00f3mo salir de una relaci\u00f3n abusiva de forma segura, especialmente cuando se enfrentan a circunstancias que ponen en peligro la vida.

Este gu\u00eda tiene como objetivo fomentar la comprensi\u00f3n y ofrecer consejos pr\u00e1cticos para ayudar a alguien que lo necesite.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"\">C\u00f3mo salir de una relaci\u00f3n abusiva de forma segura<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">La seguridad es la prioridad n\u00famero uno.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Abandonar una relaci\u00f3n abusiva requiere un apoyo s\u00f3lido y una planificaci\u00f3n cuidadosa de una estrategia de salida, idealmente elaborada con la ayuda de un defensor de la violencia dom\u00e9stica bien capacitado.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Todo temor que sientas es v\u00e1lido, teniendo en cuenta las circunstancias de la relaci\u00f3n, y cualquier persona que te ayude debe tomarlo en serio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Priorizar la seguridad puede significar esperar a salir; otras veces, significa que debes salir de inmediato.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A continuaci\u00f3n se indican los pasos inmediatos que puede tomar si actualmente se encuentra en peligro y necesita salir lo antes posible.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Busque ayuda de un defensor de la violencia dom\u00e9stica<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Si sientes que est\u00e1s en peligro inminente, ponte en contacto con el refugio de violencia dom\u00e9stica m\u00e1s cercano o con un defensor capacitado de inmediato. S\u00e9 precavida para que tu pareja no se entere de lo que est\u00e1s haciendo.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Proceda con precauci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Existe una fuerte posibilidad de que tu abusador te est\u00e9 siguiendo a trav\u00e9s de tu tel\u00e9fono, autom\u00f3vil, computadora y correo electr\u00f3nico. Sup\u00f3n que lo est\u00e1 haciendo y utiliza un tel\u00e9fono falso o realiza llamadas desde una l\u00ednea confidencial a la que tu pareja no tiene acceso cuando intenta contactar con refugios, l\u00edneas de ayuda, abogados u otras personas.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Conduct any Internet research on a friend&#8217;s computer or those available at a public library, but not your personal computer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Si tu auto est\u00e1 siendo rastreado, apaga el tel\u00e9fono y deja que un amigo te lleve en su lugar. Podr\u00eda ser muy peligroso si tu abusador descubre que est\u00e1s planeando irte.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Qu\u00e9 decir cuando se busca ayuda<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Llame a los refugios contra la violencia dom\u00e9stica, comun\u00edquese con un trabajador social o con una agencia que se ocupa de la violencia entre parejas, y d\u00edgales que siente que su pareja la amenaza y que necesita un plan de seguridad para escapar de una situaci\u00f3n peligrosa o abusiva.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">P\u00eddale que realice una evaluaci\u00f3n de riesgos para usted. Este es un instrumento \u00fatil que puede ayudarlo y a su personal de respuesta a evaluar su nivel de riesgo.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tambi\u00e9n puede hablar confidencialmente con su m\u00e9dico sobre el peligro que siente y solicitarle apoyo. Estos profesionales deber\u00edan poder conectarlo con recursos para abordar su situaci\u00f3n particular.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Encuentra a un aliado<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Si hacer esa llamada parece abrumador, contacta con un amigo en quien puedas confiar\u2014alguien que no hable con tu pareja\u2014y pidele que te ayude, incluso hasta el punto de hacer la llamada contigo o acompa\u00f1arte a un refugio. Juntos, pueden buscar la mejor opci\u00f3n. Tu aliado de confianza puede ayudarte con lo que necesitas hacer.<\/p>\n<h3>Conf\u00eda en ti mismo<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Si has estado en una relaci\u00f3n emocionalmente abusiva durante alg\u00fan tiempo, es posible que est\u00e9s tan acostumbrado a que tus sentimientos y preocupaciones sean minimizados, descartados o burlados que no tengas claro qu\u00e9 hacer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Por favor, conf\u00ede en sus instintos cuando les diga que salga. Los defensores capacitados pueden reconocer y saber c\u00f3mo responder ante situaciones peligrosas. Muchos tambi\u00e9n son supervivientes y comprenden la duda interna y el miedo que probablemente sienta.<\/p>\n<h3>Establecer una palabra clave<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Es crucial establecer una palabra clave espec\u00edfica con amigos de confianza, familiares o tus hijos. Esta palabra clave les indica que deben llamar inmediatamente al 9-1-1 y solicitar la asistencia de los servicios de emergencia hasta su ubicaci\u00f3n, sin hacer preguntas.<\/p>\n<h3>Ayuda r\u00e1pida para relaciones abusivas<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Si no sabe qu\u00e9 servicios est\u00e1n disponibles en su \u00e1rea, puede contactar con la L\u00ednea Nacional contra la Violencia Dom\u00e9stica al 1-800-787-SAFE (7233). Ellos responder\u00e1n a sus preguntas y le ayudar\u00e1n a encontrar los mejores servicios en su \u00e1rea.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Abandonar una relaci\u00f3n peligrosa y abusiva rara vez es f\u00e1cil. Ahora que tienes la informaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s importante para crear tu plan de seguridad, vamos a analizar algunas de las razones por las que abandonar puede ser tan dif\u00edcil.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"\">Por qu\u00e9 salir de una relaci\u00f3n abusiva puede ser tan dif\u00edcil<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hay muchas razones por las que dejar una relaci\u00f3n abusiva puede ser dif\u00edcil, entre ellas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Falta de recursos debido a la explotaci\u00f3n financiera<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>No tienes d\u00f3nde ir<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Est\u00e1s confundido sobre lo que realmente est\u00e1 pasando en la relaci\u00f3n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Tu pareja y t\u00fa ten\u00e9is un v\u00ednculo de trauma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Los adoras<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>No est\u00e1s de acuerdo con el divorcio<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Hay ni\u00f1os involucrados<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>No cree que tendr\u00e1 apoyo alguno<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Tienes miedo de que t\u00fa o tus hijos sufr\u00e1is da\u00f1os si lo dej\u00e1is<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Todas estas son preocupaciones v\u00e1lidas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Si bien puede haber muchas razones para permanecer en una relaci\u00f3n abusiva, es poco probable que cambie a menos que tu pareja est\u00e9 dispuesta a realizar el trabajo profundo y desafiante que requiere la transformaci\u00f3n. Desafortunadamente, la mayor\u00eda de los abusadores no est\u00e1n dispuestos a hacerlo. En muchos casos, abandonar la relaci\u00f3n suele ser la mejor opci\u00f3n o la \u00fanica opci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important; --tcb-applied-color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important;\">Staying in an Abusive Relationship Isn&#8217;t an Act of Love<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Amar a alguien no significa que permanezcamos sin importar lo que pase. A muchos de nosotros se les ha ense\u00f1ado que el amor vence todo, y creemos firmemente que debemos permanecer en un matrimonio sin importar lo que pase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Para muchos, nos enga\u00f1amos pensando que cambiar\u00e1n con el tiempo si los amamos lo suficiente.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Esto simplemente no es cierto cuando tu pareja es abusiva. Los socios abusivos a menudo no son conscientes de su comportamiento abusivo ni est\u00e1n dispuestos a cambiar, independientemente de las consecuencias.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">El abuso f\u00edsico, sexual y emocional es una forma de violencia, no de amor. Una relaci\u00f3n sana no es violenta.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">En la pr\u00f3xima secci\u00f3n, exploraremos formas de ayudarte a determinar si dejar es la decisi\u00f3n correcta.<\/p>\n<h3>Determina si est\u00e1s listo para irte<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Si su vida no est\u00e1 en peligro, puede quedarse hasta que se sienta m\u00e1s seguro de poder irse. Para ayudarle a saber cu\u00e1ndo es el momento de irse, puede considerar varias cosas, como las que se mencionan a continuaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<h3>Eval\u00fae sus sentimientos<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Eval\u00fae si est\u00e1 usted preparado. \u00bfSe siente preparado, o a\u00fan tiene dudas? Incontinente frecuencia, las personas dejan a su abusador solo para volver m\u00e1s tarde, y el abuso se intensifica. Es dif\u00edcil dejarlo incluso cuando est\u00e1 usted preparado. Pero si est\u00e1 usted preparado, comience tomando medidas concretas para crear un plan de seguridad de salida, incluyendo la reserva de dinero en efectivo para emergencias. Este proceso ayudar\u00e1 a generar la valent\u00eda necesaria para permanecer lejos, permanecer seguro y sanar.<\/p>\n<h3>Conozca los signos<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00bfHas probado todo, pero nada ayuda? Tu salud y bienestar mental pueden estar en una espiral descendente, y no puedes recordar la \u00faltima vez en que no te sent\u00edas como si estuvieras caminando sobre espinillas. Veo constantemente signos de advertencia de que ya no puedo ignorarlos. Nada est\u00e1 cambiando salvo t\u00fa. Tu salud puede estar en declive y est\u00e1s ansioso y agotado. Estos son todos signos que vale la pena escuchar. Nuestros cuerpos son inteligentes y a veces hacen ruido para hacernos escuchar.<\/p>\n<h3>Eval\u00fae el peligro<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you fear for your life or your children&#8217;s lives, it\u2019s time to take the steps we provided in the sections above. In dangerous situations, being proactive is necessary. Leave as soon as you are able. However, if you\u2019re not in immediate danger but know leaving is necessary, here are the essential steps to take, especially if you live together:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important; --tcb-applied-color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important;\">Acciones esenciales para dejar a un compa\u00f1ero abusivo cuando compartes una casa<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Abandonar a una pareja abusiva mientras viven juntos supone un conjunto de desaf\u00edos \u00fanicos. Las siguientes etapas pueden ayudarle a orientarlo a trav\u00e9s del proceso.<\/p>\n<h3>Comienza a ahorrar dinero<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">La mejor manera de prepararse es comenzar a ahorrar dinero. Desarrolle fondos de emergencia reduciendo sus gastos y guardando el cambio en un lugar que su pareja no pueda acceder. Comun\u00edquese con las organizaciones comunitarias locales, los refugios contra la violencia dom\u00e9stica o con amigos que est\u00e9n dispuestos a ayudarle con alimentos y alojamiento hasta que tenga cierta independencia econ\u00f3mica. En algunos condados existen fundaciones que proporcionan fondos para subvenciones a personas que quieren dejar a un compa\u00f1ero abusivo.<\/p>\n<h3>Elaborar un plan de salida confidencial<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Las agencias o sitios web de violencia dom\u00e9stica pueden ayudarte a crear un plan de escape o de seguridad. Muchas personas de tu comunidad no podr\u00e1n o no estar\u00e1n dispuestas a reconocer el abuso.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Por ejemplo:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Algunas personas creen que la separaci\u00f3n o el divorcio siempre son algo malo.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Muchos no se dan cuenta de que la violencia dom\u00e9stica entre adultos tiene efectos devastadores en los ni\u00f1os que viven en ese hogar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Algunos amigos y familiares deciden concentrarse \u00fanicamente en mantenerte en el matrimonio en lugar de pensar en c\u00f3mo protegerte del abuso. Tal vez no sean personas seguras con las que puedas confesar tus problemas.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Crear un plan con un asesor es fundamental.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Elija uno o dos individuos de confianza\u2014sean profesionales o amigos\u2014y comparta su plan con ellos.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important; --tcb-applied-color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important;\">Mantenga la seguridad mientras se prepara para irse<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trate de no amenazar con dejar a su pareja o insinuar que est\u00e1 pensando en hacerlo. De esa manera, podr\u00eda agravar la situaci\u00f3n y ponerlo en grave peligro. Mientras tanto, abra su propio nuevo cuenta bancaria. Lleve una bolsa de emergencia para el caso de que sus planes cambien. Mantenga siempre el coche bien cargado y listo para salir en cualquier momento.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important; --tcb-applied-color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important;\">Recopile los documentos personales y financieros m\u00e1s importantes<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Just as you would create a detailed packing list for a long trip, it&#8217;s necessary to carefully gather all essential documents and assets needed for a safe departure. Must-have items include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Extrastras de la cuenta bancaria y de la tarjeta de cr\u00e9dito.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Informaci\u00f3n de la p\u00f3liza de seguro (m\u00e9dica, dental, de hogar, de alquiler, de negocios, de vida, etc.).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Originales o copias de todos los documentos importantes, como los pasaportes, licencias de conducir, certificados de nacimiento de usted y su pareja y cualquier documento de confianza o otros documentos clave.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Contratos de hipoteca o alquiler.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Copias del t\u00edtulo de propiedad, del t\u00edtulo de la vivienda y de los seguros o contratos de arrendamiento de su vivienda y veh\u00edculos.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Copias de todos los n\u00fameros de tel\u00e9fono o direcciones relevantes que pueda necesitar para acceder a ellos.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">No asumas que tu pareja compartir\u00e1 voluntariamente esta informaci\u00f3n contigo una vez que te vayas. Obt\u00e9n esta informaci\u00f3n por tu cuenta, si es posible, antes de partir.<\/p>\n<h3>Proteja su privacidad<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tan pronto como un abusador se da cuenta de que su pareja ha desaparecido, es probable que haga todo lo posible para limitar la libertad financiera y personal de su pareja. Recomendamos cambiar sus cuentas personales y crear nuevas contrase\u00f1as para todo (cuenta bancaria, 401(k), cuentas de inversi\u00f3n, tel\u00e9fonos, correos electr\u00f3nicos, cuentas en redes sociales, etc.).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Aqu\u00ed hay algunas otras formas de protegerse:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Cancelar las tarjetas o cuentas antiguas y no utilizadas para que no puedan reactivarlas y arruinar tu cr\u00e9dito con deudas impagadas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Bloquean el acceso a cualquier dinero o cr\u00e9dito que tengas para que no puedan congelar, da\u00f1ar o desviar el dinero de tus cuentas bancarias.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>Env\u00eda nuevas tarjetas o estados a una direcci\u00f3n postal, a tu direcci\u00f3n comercial o a otra persona de confianza en el momento actual. A partir de ahora, podr\u00edas considerar utilizar un banco diferente al de tu abusador.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important; --tcb-applied-color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important;\">Creando una red de seguridad: estrategias para evitar el retorno al abuso<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Una vez que decidas irte, o si ya lo has hecho, hay pasos que puedes tomar ahora para evitar volver. Volver es, desafortunadamente, una realidad que muchos individuos enfrentan. Se liberan del abuso y, con el tiempo, se ven arrastrados de nuevo hacia \u00e9l. Queremos ayudarte a evitar esto.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A continuaci\u00f3n se presentan las medidas preventivas que creemos ser\u00edan m\u00e1s \u00fatiles para usted.<\/p>\n<h3>Evite que lo rastreen<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Comprueba que tu ubicaci\u00f3n est\u00e1 segura y que no te est\u00e1n siguiendo. Es muy com\u00fan que los abusadores rastreen en secreto a sus parejas. Te aconsejamos que revises tu tel\u00e9fono, computadora, correo electr\u00f3nico, mensajes de texto e incluso tu autom\u00f3vil para comprobar si est\u00e1s siendo rastreado o monitoreado de alguna manera.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Asigne un n\u00famero de tel\u00e9fono privado para su hogar. Use un tel\u00e9fono celular prepago o consulte un experto para verificar si su tel\u00e9fono m\u00f3vil est\u00e1 equipado con dispositivos de rastreo o spyware. La mayor\u00eda de las tiendas que venden estos productos ofrecen servicios para ayudarle a determinar si se han instalado spyware u otros dispositivos de seguimiento en su tecnolog\u00eda. Le recomendamos que los utilice.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Muchos refugios y agencias de violencia dom\u00e9stica tambi\u00e9n ofrecen un servicio gratuito para eliminar rastreadores o spyware de tu tel\u00e9fono u otros dispositivos para que no se pueda rastrear tu ubicaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<h3>Cambia tu rutina<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tambi\u00e9n deber\u00e1s cambiar tu rutina. Si no puedes desplazarte lejos, te recomendamos evaluar qu\u00e9 rutas, trabajos o lugares comunes hay que sustituir para mantenerte a salvo. Tambi\u00e9n te aconsejamos llevar siempre contigo un tel\u00e9fono m\u00f3vil para poder llamar al 9-1-1 en cualquier momento.<\/p>\n<h3>Registra tus razones para irte<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 te hizo dejarlo? El d\u00eda que te vayas, escribe por qu\u00e9 lo dejaste. S\u00e9 espec\u00edfico. Cada vez que tengas la tentaci\u00f3n de volver antes de que cambien las cosas, revisa la lista y recuerda tus razones para irte. Incluso puedes compartir lo que escribiste con un amigo o miembro de tu familia de confianza y pedirles que te lo recuerden cuando lo necesites.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important; --tcb-applied-color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important;\">Limitaciones esenciales que hay que establecer antes de considerar una nueva conexi\u00f3n<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a1Esta es una nota para cuando llegue el momento!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Si bien la situaci\u00f3n que plantea un riesgo o una amenaza sigue siendo reciente, anote los cambios espec\u00edficos que necesita ver o las medidas que deben tomar para que usted vuelva a considerar la posibilidad de reanudar una relaci\u00f3n \u00edntima.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\"><span>\u00bfTerapia individual?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>\u00bfTratamiento del enfado?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>\u00bfPrograma de intervenci\u00f3n contra los agresores?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>\u00bfAbuso en la educaci\u00f3n?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Puede llegar un d\u00eda en el que te preguntes: \u201c\u00bfHubiera podido hacer algo m\u00e1s para marcar la diferencia? \u00bfMe estaba exagerando?\u201d Te animamos a adoptar un enfoque diferente.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">En lugar de preguntarte qu\u00e9 podr\u00edas haber hecho de manera diferente, pregunta:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\"><span>\u00bfQu\u00e9 medidas han tomado para abordar el abuso y construir relaciones m\u00e1s saludables?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"\"><span>\u00bfHan demostrado un cambio positivo sostenido durante un per\u00edodo significativo, como dos a\u00f1os o m\u00e1s?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Es posible que nunca quieras volver. \u00a1Eso tambi\u00e9n es com\u00fan y es un buen resultado!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sin embargo, es bueno estar preparados en caso de que se piense en volver a salir a la calle.<\/p>\n<h3>Avanzar tras la violencia de pareja<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Salir de una relaci\u00f3n abusiva no es f\u00e1cil. Lo mismo ocurre con seguir adelante, y eso est\u00e1 bien. Algunas cosas que valen la pena son realmente dif\u00edciles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Puedes cuidar de ti mismo de varias maneras mientras inicias el dif\u00edcil proceso de encontrar claridad y sanaci\u00f3n a medida que avances en tu viaje. Tambi\u00e9n hay algunas medidas esenciales que deber\u00e1s tomar para cuidar de ti mismo y de tus hijos.<\/p>\n<h3>Construya un Cocoon de Sanaci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Es probable que necesites tiempo para recuperarte de los efectos traum\u00e1ticos de una relaci\u00f3n abusiva. Encuentra un lugar tranquilo donde puedas descansar, restaurar tu energ\u00eda y dejar que tus emociones, el dolor y el sufrimiento se desprendan.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Intenta ver las primeras semanas o meses de tu vida como si estuvieras viviendo en un caparaz\u00f3n, creciendo y san\u00e1ndote para poder salir adelante y volar. No te preocupes tanto por los dem\u00e1s, ni pasa demasiado tiempo intentando hacerlos entender. Elige a unas pocas personas en las que puedas confiar si necesitas hablar con alguien.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Construya una relaci\u00f3n saludable consigo mismo.<\/p>\n<h3>Lee, escucha y cura<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lee libros, art\u00edculos y blogs. Escucha podcasts, charlas en YouTube, cursos, m\u00fasica o el oc\u00e9ano. Haz arte, sal a caminar largos paseos y d\u00f3cilate. Toma ba\u00f1os. Enciende velas. Lleva un diario, medita, reza, ejercita y duerme. Extiende gracia y amor a ti mismo. \u00bfLo ves? Te mereces este tiempo y lo necesitas.<\/p>\n<span style=\"display:none\" class=\"tl-placeholder-f-type-shortcode_6557\"><\/span>\n<h3>Consulte ayuda legal<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Muchos tribunales de familia ofrecen cl\u00ednicas gratuitas para ayudarle en el proceso de separaci\u00f3n o divorcio. Los abogados especializados en derecho de familia pueden ofrecerle consejos \u00fatiles sobre c\u00f3mo establecer arreglos de custodia temporal, manejar los asuntos financieros y limitar la comunicaci\u00f3n con su pareja sin comprometer su reputaci\u00f3n ante el juez que examina su caso. Es recomendable prepararse.<\/p>\n<h3>Establezca l\u00edmites<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Abandonar f\u00edsicamente el hogar abusivo puede ser el primer paso para poner fin al abuso. Es poco probable que la salida de ese lugar acabe con los esfuerzos de tu pareja por ejercer control sobre ti. A menudo, ellos no te dejar\u00e1n espacio para recuperarte y seguir\u00e1n ejerciendo el m\u00e1ximo control, incluso si eso significa sabotear tu tranquilidad \u2013 ya sea mediante mensajes constantes, insultos, difamaciones sobre tu reputaci\u00f3n, mensajes de voz repetidos, visitas a la escuela, el trabajo o lugares que ellos sepan que vas a visitar.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Los tipos de l\u00edmites que pueda establecer pueden variar seg\u00fan sus circunstancias. Su abogado o un profesional de salud mental pueden ayudarle a establecer l\u00edmites efectivos.<\/p>\n<h3>No esperes que ellos cambien<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Creer que el cambio es posible es normal.

Be cautious so your partner does not become aware of what you are doing.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><h3 class=\"\" style=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-192a0118f98\">Proceed with Caution<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><p dir=\"ltr\">There is a strong possibility that your abuser is tracking you through your phone, automobile, computer, and email. Assume they are and use a burner phone or make calls from a confidential line your partner cannot access when reaching out to shelters, hotlines, attorneys, or others.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Conduct any Internet research on a friend's computer or those available at a public library, but not your personal computer.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">If your car is being tracked, turn off your phone and have a friend drive you instead.

This is a helpful tool that can assist you and your responder in assessing your level of risk.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">You may also speak confidentially about the danger you sense with your physician and ask for support.

dir=\"ltr\">While there might be many reasons for staying, an abusive relationship is unlikely to change unless your partner is willing to undergo the deep and challenging work transformation requires. Unfortunately, most abusers are unwilling to do so. In many cases, leaving is often the best or only option.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><h2 class=\"\" style=\"color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important; --tcb-applied-color: rgb(155, 124, 59) !important;\">Staying in an Abusive Relationship Isn't an Act of Love<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><p dir=\"ltr\">Loving someone doesn\u2019t mean you stay no matter what. Many of us have been taught that love conquers all, and we firmly believe we are supposed to stay in a marriage no matter what.&nbsp;<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">For many, we fool ourselves into believing they will change in time if we love them enough.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">This is simply not true when your partner is abusive. Abusive partners are often either unaware of their abusive behavior or are unwilling to change, regardless of the consequences.&nbsp;<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Physical, sexual, and emotional abuse are acts of violence, not love. A healthy relationship is not violent.&nbsp;<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">In the next section, we\u2019ll explore ways to help you determine if leaving is the right decision.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element tve-froala\"><h3 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-192a01214b7\">Determine If You\u2019re Ready to Leave<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><p dir=\"ltr\">If your life is not in danger, you may stay until you feel more confident about leaving.

Do you feel prepared, or are you still unsure? Far too often, individuals leave their abuser only to return later, and the abuse escalates. It\u2019s difficult to leave even when you\u2019re ready. But if you are ready, begin by taking concrete steps to create an exit safety plan, including setting aside emergency cash. This process will help build the courage you need to stay gone, remain safe, and heal.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><h3 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-192a01214b7\">Recognize the Signs<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><p dir=\"ltr\">Have you tried everything, but nothing is helping? Your health and mental well-being may be on a downward spiral, and you can\u2019t remember the last time you didn\u2019t feel like you were walking on eggshells. You are continually seeing warning signs that you can no longer ignore. Nothing is changing other than you. Your health may be failing, and you\u2019re anxious and exhausted. These are all signs that are wise to listen to. Our bodies are smart and sometimes squeak to get us to listen.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><h3 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-192a01214b7\">Assess Danger<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><p dir=\"ltr\">If you fear for your life or your children's lives, it\u2019s time to take the steps we provided in the sections above. In dangerous situations, being proactive is necessary. Leave as soon as you are able.

Develop emergency funds by decreasing your spending and pocketing the change into a location your partner cannot access. Reach out to your local community organizations, domestic violence shelters, or friends who would be willing to help you with food and housing until you have some financial independence. In some counties, there are foundations that provide grant money to individuals to help them leave an abusive partner.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><h3 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-192a01214b7\">Make a Confidential Exit Plan<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><p dir=\"ltr\">Domestic violence agencies or websites can help you create a safe escape or safety plan.

Going back is, unfortunately, a reality many individuals face. They break free from the abuse and then, as time goes on, find themselves getting pulled back in. We want to help you avoid this.&nbsp;<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Below are the preventative steps we believe would be most helpful to you.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><h3 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-192a01214b7\">Avoid Being Tracked<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><p dir=\"ltr\">Ensure your location is safe and that you aren\u2019t being tracked. It is very common for abusers to secretly track their partners. You will want to check your phone, computer, email, text messages, and even your car to determine if you are being tracked or monitored in any way.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Make sure you have a confidential home phone number. Use a prepaid cell phone or have your mobile phone checked by an expert for tracking devices or spyware. Most stores that sell these products have services to help you determine whether spyware or other tracking devices have been placed on your technology. We encourage you to use them.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Many domestic violence shelters and agencies also offer a free service to remove trackers or spyware from your phone or other devices so that your location cannot be tracked.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><h3 class=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-192a01214b7\">Change Your Routine<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\"><p dir=\"ltr\">You\u2019ll also want to change your routine. If you can\u2019t move far away, we recommend evaluating what routes, work, or common places need to be replaced in order to keep yourself safe.
