Warning: If you are in an abusive relationship, we urge you NOT TO USE ANY COMPUTER THE ABUSER HAS ACCESS TO!

The abuser may be able to track your internet usage — even if you know how to erase your Internet history. Instead, we strongly recommend you create a new, free email account at your local library or a friend’s home (Google Mail is one such free email service and there are many others.) Also, please be aware that any listed phone number can be discovered and even cross-referenced to a map. You should only make calls from a public payphone or an unlisted number that does not provide Caller ID information.
