The Stair Of Violence
Interview With Susana Mendoza
Resources – Power & Control Wheel.
Think of this wheel as a diagram of the tactics your abusive partner uses to trap you into having a relationship with him or her. The inner wheel is comprised of subtle, continuous behaviors while the outer ring shows physical and visible violence.
These abusive acts are open, intense, and energetic in nature. If frequently done, they reinforce the regular use of other more subtle methods of abuse. Please be reminded that although this wheel uses “their” pronouns for the victim and assumes a male author, abuse can happen to people of any gender in any type of relationship.

Personal Safety Plan
During An Explosive Incident
- Try to be somewhere with an exit that is not in the bathroom, kitchen, or any place with potential weapons.
- Practice safely getting out of your house.
- Pack a bag filled with essentials and have it ready at a relative’s or friend’s home.
- Identify neighbors whom you can tell about the violent incident. Instruct them to call the police if they hear a disturbance coming from your house.
- Create a code so your children, family, and neighbors will know when you need police assistance.
- Determine where you will go in case you need to leave home.
- Always use your best judgment and go with your gut instinct. Should a dangerous situation arise, try to keep the abuser calm if possible.
REMEMBER: You do not deserve to be hit or threatened!
When Preparing To Leave
- Open a checking or savings account in your name.
- Leave a substantial amount of money, an extra set of keys, copies of important documents, a change of clothes, and vital medicine in a safe location or with someone you trust.
- Get a personal post office (PO) box.
- Find a safe place where you and your children can go or someone who can lend you money.
- Always keep a local shelter’s phone number and some change (or even a calling card) on you at all times so you can easily make emergency phone calls.
- Make arrangements for your pets to be safely taken care of.
REMEMBER: Leaving your batterer is the most dangerous time!

- Tell your neighbors and landlord that your partner/spouse does not live with you anymore. Additionally, instruct them to call the police if they see him/her near your house.
