What should I document in regards to the abuse?

 

Keep a journal of all violent and abusive incidents, noting dates, events, threats made protection order violations, etc. It may be important to think about where you can hide this document. Is there a safe place at your residence that your partner would not find it? Or maybe at a trusted friend, family member or coworker.

Save threatening messages, e-mails, instant messages, text messages, letters, pictures, etc.

Filing police reports about the abuse, whether your partner/ stalker is charged or not, also creates documentation of the abuse you are experiencing.

Other useful things that can document abuse are protection orders (both criminal and civil), medical records for treatment sought due to abuse, pictures of physical injuries, and anything else that demonstrates threats, abuse, violence, etc.
