You've taken the first step, congratulations. Now you need to focus on keeping your kids and you safe, the shelter will help you with that. Like Rhiannon said, do NOT tell him where you are. I know that the shelters around here will kick you out if your abuser finds out you are staying there. They say that you are putting yourself and the other women in a dangerous position. I am so glad that you are safe. I was worried about you and the kidos.
