Too often society blames victims of domestic violence for not leaving, rather than holding the abusers responsible.  The reality is that financial dependency, concern for the children, and the fear of being pursued or even killed, can make the idea of escape seem impossible. No one deserves to be abused. Everyone should have someone to turn to.  Everyone deserves better! No one should stay in an abusive relationship because they have nowhere to go.

Domestic violence programs across America can offer hope and a new beginning. If you or someone you know needs help, contact:  National Domestic Violence Hotline  800-799-7233800-799-7233 (www.ndvh.org) .
