For so many of us, our health and well-being comes down to distancing ourselves or ending the relationship with those who abused/traumatized us (e.g., moving out of the house/location where the perpetrator(s) live; going Low or No Contact with them; taking legal action to keep them from harassing/stalking us, etc). 

It's a difficult transition to make emotionally, but depending on the situation (e.g., domestic violence), it may also be unsafe physically.  If that is the case, please make sure you have safety measures in place before taking action (unless the threat is immediate in which case call 911).  You can search  World Help Lines (http://worldhelplines.org/) or use Google to locate a shelter/domestic violence agency close to you.

Emotionally speaking, if you come across any tools/strategies/ideas for dealing with what can be a difficult transition, please add them here so that we build a list of resources over time.
