- Think of a place where you will stay (once you run away) and make sure it is a place where your family member will not think of looking for you.
- Also, make a list of people with whom you are likely to stay and warn them in advance of enquiries about your whereabouts that will be made once you disappear.
- Include trustworthy people in your plans or at least let them know what you plan to do so that they do not worry unnecessarily.
- Let the police also know what you plan to do.
- Leave at the beginning of a work day so that your presence is not missed till the end of the day.
- You may consider changing your name, the license plates of your car, your bank account number as well as your cell phone number.
- Do not let your guard down even at your new place till you are sure that you are safe, which may not be for several months.
