Domestic abuse is unfortunately a serious issue.  The first step is to recognize the importance of getting out of the abusive scenario.  People have the right to be treated with dignity and respect.

Tell someone.  A friend, a family member, a counselor.  Just someone.  That's the first step.  You can get out of it by yourself, but having someone to support you and go through the process with you will make things much easier.
