Leaving someone that is toxic in a relationship is hard! The decision is not made lightly or without much thought. This can be between you and a family member or an intimate partner.
I mentioned copying documents and here is the list:
If you are concerned your
partner will notice these are gone make copies of the
original and leave the copies!
Marriage/Birth certificates
Social Security cards
Bills- Student loans, Credit cards, medical
Financial records
Medical records/shot records
Diplomas
Passports
Pay stubs
Income tax records
Mortgage/Rent contract
Business contacts/info
Have an old school paper type of phone book with
contacts- Note an emergency contact!
Car registration/Insurance
Medical insurance cards
Investment info/401k
Old protective orders- this shows there were past problems
Photos
Bankruptcy discharges
Any other legal info- lawsuits, tickets, summons,
immigration paperwork/green cards, custody papers
Journals
History of the violence- include pictures and note the dates
Are you thinking of leaving? What steps are you taking? Also, have you ever said those 3 little words to a partner about them letting you go?
