Self-Care Care- Cont’d Not giving up on her. If she leaves him and then returns, this is her choice. Even if you feel that she may get abused again, remember this is her choice as it is her life, not yours. This does not mean that you have failed. It is important that you remain open to supporting her, otherwise she may feel that she cannot ask you for help next time she needs it. Talk to her about a safety plan. Talk to her about her not being a failure for returning Remembering that most women do what they can to survive and know their situation the best. Try not to be judgemental, be encouraging but not controlling Never placing yourself at risk, call the police if necessary Not feeling that her well-being or her children’s well being is your sole responsibility. Don’t expect you can do everything for them Knowing your own limits in terms of time, energy and knowledge Understanding that we each have responsibility to care for others but we are not totally responsible for another person’s well being. Be guided by the woman regarding her needs, but also look after yourself
