Help to Deal with Domestic Violence
After my husband tried to murder me, I decided I needed to understand myself. I knew that I would need help doing so I sought out a family therapist. Through belief in myself, my journey, and my Higher Power, I found that light shines through darkness, but it takes a lot of work.
So if you're feeling your world is out of sorts, I encourage you to find your inner strength in whatever way works best for you. Below are some of the steps I took along other helpful Internet sights dedicated to education and recovery from psychopaths, sociopaths and domestic violence. Following the organizations are books that may also help you understand more about domestic violence and how psychopaths are abusers.

National Domestic Violence Hotline, covers
Safety Plan Guidelines, Personal Safety with an Abuser, Getting Ready to
Leave , General Guidelines for
Leaving an Abusive Relationship , After Leaving the Abusive Relationship, and a Printable Personal Safety Plan.

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (MAYO CLINIC HEALTH INFORMATION)
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Many people who go through traumatic events have difficulty adjusting and coping for a while. But with time and taking care of yourself, such traumatic reactions usually get better. In some cases, though, the symptoms can get worse or last for months or even years. Sometimes they may completely shake up your life. In a case such as this, you may have post-traumatic stress disorder. Getting treatment as soon as possible after post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms develop may prevent long-term post- traumatic stress disorder.
