How Should I Handle An Abusive Ex-Boyfriend?

Dear Heidi,

I know the issues you are dealing with now are very stressful, but staying in such an abusive realtionship would not be worth the price. There are actions you can take to protect yourself and your property.

For starters get a good Christian attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney you can call a Women's shelter in your local area that deals with abuse and they might be able to give you some advice. For now I would change the locks on the doors and try not to venture out by yourself for now. If your parents live near, you might want to stay with them until he quits stalking you. Whatever you do, stay clear of him and do not go back to him just because of harassment.

I do not know how your relationship is with the Lord. If you are born again God is your protector. If you are not born again, you need to seek salvation. Do not do this out of fear, but you need the Lord in your life no matter what and He might have brought you to this place so you would go to Him. Remember that greater is He that is in us than hethat is in the world.
