No woman should EVER feel unsafe. Women and their children need to know there are people who care and will help them to get out of a violent situation. Children should not see their mom being abused by a man, husband, friend, father, uncle, brother. Leaving this situation is just the start, afterwards, the healing, health, guidance, education, love and support is another step that is extremely hard for someone. I am fortunate to have a strong personality, to have witnessed this as a child which is why I am so independent as I never wanted to be in a situation where I was unable to leave. I have 2 grown daughters and a son. I am blessed to have 2 grandchildren. I am at a point in my life where I am able to help others that have and are still living through this
