Violence in the relationship
The key insight in mental or physical violence is that the victim bears no blame. On the contrary. Looking for help so promptly.
In some cases, it comes with a separation to the wars of the roses. In this case, mostly also no couples therapy helps. In case of emergency nothing else left one as the final demolition of the contact. If it comes to dangerous situations here quick help is needed and important. If you from your partner are threatened or physically attacked, you have many options. Then it only helps to leave the familiar environment and completely break off contact for the time being. Furthermore, there is the case of Stalkings, here is an urgent need for action.
Of course, the police as emergency aid is the first starting point. They can immediately and up to two weeks expel the life partner from the apartment and from your direct surroundings. In addition, she can take the key from the offender, take him into custody and secure items. While talking with the police, you can request for this separation. Furthermore, the police can give you contacts addresses to a women's, men's and child protection institution, intervention agencies, coordinating offices or to other helpers.
No matter whether in domestic violence or stalking can contact specific professionals or help phone. Both, you will receive information about the protection of victims and law enforcement, as well as contact specific facilities, such as for example intervention centres, counselling centres and women's shelters.
