what do you do to keep a man from beating you even after pressing charges?

Emmy F	Please don't hit him back. You don't want the rage that will cause. Move if you can. Do something to help your self esteem. Get some kind of support system for yourself, something, somewhere. Protect yourself. Hitting him back will not do anything but make him hit you harder. Please get yourself some help.

xtratabasco	I guess you go to a safe house.

anoldwomanlivinginashoe	the first time shame on him. the second time shame on you!

sharinsbobby	You find a place where he cant get to you. Family/friends should be able to help you. If not go to a shelter for battered women, they can help you. Penelope House is located in Alabama, look for a similar place in your area

iceprincess	I would go into a shelter. These men never quit until your dead, so do whatever you have to do, to get him in jail and then disappear.

johnbenn_2000	Go to your local hardware or feedstore. There they sell a battery opperated cow prod.If he comes near you press it into him and shock the living daylights out of him. While he's down do it again then call the police and press charges. The next day get an order of protect from the bum and file for a divorse. Get a legal aid lawyer. Good luck to you.

Terri	I'll ASSUME that he is not living with you. 1. Go get a restraining order (Though IMO a piece of paper won't stop him from attacking you again--it will help you legally, just google "Tracy Thurman") 2. Go take self defense classes. 3. Get yourself familiar with a handgun and get a license to carry a concealed weapon. If he does live with you: 1. Move out yesterday. Find a women's shelter to help you. 2. Follow 1-3 above. Press charges each time. Hit him back. A well aimed bullet to the head.

free_angel	NEVER let him back into your life.

gotgoji	have you ever saw the movie THE BURNING BED...

kinacl	You deserve the best that life has to offer and that's not it. You don't need anyone beating on you, you're worth more than that. Hang in there things will get better. For your own safety, I would keep him away. You are unique of all God's creations, nothing can replace you. You are more than what you give yourself credit my dear. Please take care of you. If no one around you feels that way, then feel that way for yourself. That is truly how others honor and respect you in that order. I hope you realize you are special and you should be treated that way as well. I'm a nurse and a Christian and I'll be praying for you. I have a movie I would like you to watch and may you be blessed and cared for as you should be. I have been there once. CALL 911 ON HIM AND THEY WILL PICK HIM UP

Porcelain Doll	You tell him theres a frying pan with his name on it, and at some point he will have to go to sleep. I would say go press charges on him AGAIN, at your local police station as you are heading out of town to get away from this loser. I would like to think this is JUST a ramdom question and that some a**hole is beating on you, if this is the case please GET HELP....

David G	Clearly, you need to get away from this man. Domestic violence ultimately maims or kills a disturbing number of women in this otherwise "civilized" country of ours. Consider getting in touch with a women's shelter or domestic violence support organization in your area. Go back to the police too, but realize that overall the police have a much better record at solving rather than preventing murders in most jurisdictions. Organizations that have experience in dealing with incorrigible abusers will be able to help you navigate the resources in your area to get you through this.

*~~ISABELLA~~*	MOVE OUT, GET AWAY FROM HIM

Tha Most Shady	what Mr Bellows says and pray to the Loard for protection and good aim if it comes to that. Just shoot that mutherfuqa in the spine via tha stomach.

patches	I hate to say it, but if you have to , move away.

lily_shaine	Leave or start hitting back

jokerswild	find a bigger man to beat him and then MOVE OUT and get a restraining order. if you even see him you can call the cops and they will arrest him on the spot.

um yea hi	take anything important [KIDS, pets, documents, etc] and leave

Gloâ˜…	You obtain a restraining order. And you cease all contact with him. He has some major issues and you need to stay away from him and have no further contact. God bless****

*never give up*	you leave?

brat	it can be a horrible hassel for you but you need to move out of town

GROOVY LILY	hit him back---hard or set a restraining order

poutypitbull	Buy a Doberman.

zether	please tell me you are not seriously asking this? please tell me you are not still there? are you serious? no help for you, because obviously you want to stay there, since its gotten to the point that you pressed charges, you should have left before it even got that bad go figure

Mr Bellows	Smith and Wesson could help you out.

Bella	seen the movie Enough with Jennifer Lopez?....nuf said.

Daniel L	Keep calling the police. Move out. Get a big new boyfriend. Get a big dog. Take self defense classes. Consider getting a gun for home protection (with gun locks if you have children)

conundrum_dragon	I would say he has to sleep some time but in truth go back to the police.

jowill22	Hit him back
