> thanks, emme.:) i hear you; i know this sounds bad..i just really don't want to go to a homeless shelter.
Remember, a shelter for women who are experiencing domestic abuse is NOT the same thing as a homeless shelter. You would have access to legal services, counseling, job training, various social programs. Some have transitional services where you'd have some sort of apartment-type housing while getting on your feet. You'd have support available.
It's not fair for you to have to deal with an abusive situation on your own and you deserve to have some people in there helping you.
> i am going to leave him soon.
How soon? Do you have an anticipated time frame?
> thanks much for your concern and advice.:) but i promise my life is not in danger or anything. i've never worried about that. i hope this might make sense..
Please keep this number on hand:
1-800-799-7233
It is the National Domestic Violence Hotline (24 hours) You can call them even if you just want someone to talk to. And if you want a place to go, they can look it up for your area.Be safe,
