You can find a shelter on this website that would be in her area or in yours and call them for help. They will be the best because they deal with victims all the time.

Do it!!! Save her she needs help. Just tell her to act normal and to tell the kids beforhand. She could even ask him to get some groceries while he is out to get you more time. I hope all goes well for you.
