D. I can teach my children how to use the telephone to contact the police and the fire department. I. I will use my judgment and intuition. Safety when preparing to leave. Battered women frequently leave the residence they share with the battering partner. Leaving must be done with a careful plan in order to increase safety.
Batters often strike back when they believe that a battered woman is leaving the relationship.
I can keep change for phone calls on me at all times. I under stand that if I use my telephone credit card, the following month the telephone bill will tell my barterer those numbers that I called after I left. To keep my telephone communications confidential, I must either use coins or I might get a friend to permit me to use their telephone credit card for a limited time when I first leave. J. I will rehearse my escape plan and, as appropriate, practice it with my children. Safety in my own residence.
