You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. And you deserve to have the support and encouragement from the people who love and care about you. When you keep the secret, you keep yourself isolated from the very people who can step up and give you the support you need. And you really need that support right now. I know you don't want to hurt your mother, but I suspect she knows more than you realize. As hard as it would be for her to find out the real truth, it would really break her heart to learn that you didn't go to her when you need her most. And it would devastate her if something terrible happened to you. But what you need most is to get out of that abusive relationship. Your boyfriend is a typical abuser and you're living in the cycle of violence. It will NOT get better. In fact, it will continue to get worse as the violence will escalate, putting you in grave danger. Please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). They have advocates available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week who can provide crisis intervention, escape planning, information and referrals to victims or anyone calling on their behalf.

You deserve this kind of help, Brittany, but you must first believe that yourself in order to step up and help yourself. Nothing will change otherwise. You've taken a very brave first step by writing here. Take the next necessary step. You're worth it. YOU REALLY ARE. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
