For the Abused: Find Help
Warning: If you are in an abusive relationship, we urge you:
DON'T USE A 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.
For the Abused
We strongly recommend you create a new, free email account at your local library or a friend’s home (Microsoft Hotmail, Google Gmail, and Yahoo Mail are all free email services; 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.
