I'm living with a relative who poses a danger to me, but they are family and I love them, what should I do?

If you are in an abusive situation, you need to get out immediately. If you love this family member and want to still have a relationship to them, then ensuring that they can no longer abuse you is the first step. It may be a difficult choice to make, but when your relationship is better five years down the line, you'll both be thankful that you made the tough decision to get out.

I would recommend seeking professional help. No one deserves to be in a dangerous relationship. Professionals can point you in the correct direction.

You have to take care of yourself, you can always love someone from a distance especially if there a danger to you! Be safe and call 911 in case of an emergency!

Well, If they're a danger for you, isn't it better to keep off them? Maybe one day you'll get in serious trouble because of them.

I believe that contacting a local domestic support network will allow you to move in a direction to resolve the situation, If it is only you in danger then speak to your GP or the Police, if there is a child involved then please contact the police.

If you are in immediate danger, you need to get out now, go to a friend or someone you trust or the authorities if you need to. Your safety is the first thing you need to deal with. If you are safe for now, reach out to someone you trust and let them help you

Even though they are family, the fact that they pose a danger to you means you need to take some form of immediate action. Get a third party involved and/or stay away from them.

Please put your safety first. You should never be in danger, and if you are, please contact authorities, or call and emergency help line.

Talk to someone whether that be a teacher, a friend or someone in authority. Your safety is most important.

It's a gut-wrenching feeling to love someone who has hurt you, but it happens more often than many people know. First of all, you should know that you're not alone. Secondly, it's not your fault. And, third, no one has the right to hurt you, physically or emotionally. It's easy to say, "You should leave." And that's what a lot of people say in these situations, but it is ultimately your choice and it will probably not be an easy one to make. If you do decide to leave, you should have a plan of escape, and know what to take with you and where you can go that will be safe (a hotel, a friend's house, a shelter, etc.). Try to talk to someone you trust, and who will support you no matter if you decide to stay or leave.
