You don't have to give them any info, until you are ready. If possible, start stashing money. Bury it, whatever. Just hide it to where he can't find it. If you can write out checks, use a debit card, ALWAYS get cash back. Even if it's five dollars. It will add up. Secondly, protect yourself. The agencies you can reach (from the police's help) will give you several suggestions and a lot of advice as to how, when, and why to leave him. Get help with some counseling ASAP. Remember, you are a person of worth, you have something to offer, you are smart, you are somebody, you are lovable, kind, beautiful, needed, wanted and rememberable. You and only you should have control and power over you. You deserve better and I will pray for you and your safety.

But I can understand that its difficult if you cant support yourself. May I suggest looking at this website:www.womensaid.org.ukThere is a number on there to call. You can talk to them and people who have dealt with this kind of thing before can help you. They help people from all backgrounds and nationalities. It would be best to talk to someone with experience and who can help support your decision.
