Battered and Abused Women
A healing place of compassion and support.
For your Safety during an
Explosive Situation
If an argument is unavoidable, try to have it in a room or area where you have access to an exit.
Stay away from the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom or anywhere else where weapons might be available.
Get out of your home as safely and as quickly as possible.
Use your own instincts and judgment. If the situation is reaching an extremely dangerous point, consider giving the abuser what he wants to calm him down.
You have the right to protect YOURSELF
and your CHILDREN until you are
out of danger or harms way.
Don't Quit!
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but DON'T QUIT!
Success is failure turned upside down,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubts,
and you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things go wrong that,
YOU MUST NOT QUIT.
