Diagnosed with c-ptsd in therapy, but had to stop due to lack of funds.  What do you do when you realise a situation that you are in is dangerous?

Hello,

If you feel that you or a minor is in immediate danger please leave the area and call 9-1-1. 


I am certainly not in a place to determine what type of reaction the situation warrants. But, by all means, trust your intuition on this.
My recommendation is to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline or chatline 800-799-safe
http://www.thehotline.org/

or the national childabuse hotline at 800-422-4453, depending on your age and if you are in the US. 

You might try these if you are in the UK
Women's Aid National Domestic Violence Helpline
0345 023 468

The Samaritans
0845 790 9090

When you can, please do update us.  I'm praying for you.

Thanks so much for replying writetolife, for the helpful  links and for your prayers.  I don't feel able to share too much of what's going on at the  moment on a public forum but I'm very thankful to be here.

I've just started reading Pete Walkers book.  I'm OK but have just realised how vulnerable my situation is.
