Email Safety

Always pick a password for your email account that your abuser will not be able to guess. Do not email material that you believe will put you in danger.  If your abuser is harassing you via email, then save the emails as well as a printed copy of the emails in a secure place.  These emails may be used to help document the abuse and harassment.
