Where do I go for help for emotional abuse?

Im 9 weeks pregnant and just left my partner bc I can no longer deny he is abusive. Tonight it was physical but normally its name calling and intimidation. I feel so worthless and depressed. I feel so alone. I live in a very small town and now will be in fear to leave my house for fear of judgement. I need help. But not police kind of help. Im in a safe place now. But where do I go from here.

Avoid him. Work. Stay with family and friends. Keep providing for you and your little one. Get a PFA. Document all the abuse.  Keep yourself and the baby safe. Only place you can go from here is UP

I am so sorry to hear of your situation. There are many options for you and I hope this information can be helpful to you. If you are interested the are shelters for woman who are abused. if you call 1 800 799 7233 it is a hotline and they should be able to assist in finding locations for you. Is there any family you can reach out to who can help you?

If you do not want your location disclosed to your partner the shelter will not disclose your information. From there they can assist you further.
