Getting services, medical care or counseling is jeopardized by the battering partner's fear of the violence being disclosed and the woman being supported enough to leave. Share this information with someone, call a Hotline and speak with a counselor, tell your treatment advocate, and figure out a way to take the medications. Perhaps taking medications twice a day would be more beneficial. Medications can often be delivered to your home, which could allow you to hide them somewhere safe. This way you don't have to rely on your partner to pick them up and worry when he doesn't come through.
Tension becomes unbearable and the effects are visible both physically and mentally.
A person's well-being becomes compromised, at the very least. Many infected women cannot afford such a price. Time and energy become focused on the batterer and the woman's desires, needs, ideas, feelings are then insignificant. The cause of every violent act is the person committing the violence, no outside forces cause the behavior. In fact you don't have to have a home to be in a domestic violence situation.
