I wish I would have had the strength to stay away when they were little, but this is reality. I am bitter that society allows this, but until things change we only can depend on ourselves and each other. I have tons of ideas. Also how to plan to leave and hide those plans. These men watch a persons every move.
People can be very unaware and tip an abuser off.
That way she didn't waste her precious free time and endanger herself further. It is not safe to take in an abused woman, and it is unwise, especially when shelters have panic buttons to call the police immediately, but we CAN get the info out there exactly what a person needs to do to plan on getting out, to stay safe, and how to stay away. I know how what organizations to go to to get a security deposit, how to enroll in school etc. Woman CAN get out and stay out, and have a new life. It doesn't have to be as hard as it is.
