Hello There:
I just had a moment remembering when I had no idea where to go after being abused. And, you keep hearing people tell you that you need to leave the situation yet, you don't have the first idea of how to do so. That's okay Beautiful, the fact is you have already realized that being abused is not the life you want to live, and that is the first step. To help you out with the next one, I have posted a few shelters below within the Bay Area in California.
If you need help with your area, you can contact me personally at freeshayla@live.com and I will do the homework for you.
