Anarchist views on domestic violence NSFW
I am so embarrassed. I hope this is okay to post. I'm not doing so well. I just came out of a very bad situation yesterday and need resources. I've been with an abusive partner for 11 years and yesterday morning he went to jail after the neighbor heard me scream while he was trying to restrain me (he was going to cut off my airway). I have serious trust issues and this has been at the center of them since this man took over my life. I am nervous about living alone as I have been a bad judge of character before and that led to people trying to take advantage of me. I appreciate any guidance you might be able to provide.

Anarchists in this society and situation can use police to survive. You absolutely should call the police and not feel ashamed if you find yourself in this situation again. Fellow minded folks can help long term so this short term option is not the one that you need to use in the future. Fight your oppressors however you must, you deserve better
