For sure, look into the domestic abuse shelters for resources. Also, now that I am in Thearpy now.. I would highly suggest it. It will be a place you can go and tell of your hurts, vent, cry, be angry, and the T will be able to help you through it all. Give you tools, etc.. I really hope that you are your kids are able to stay safe and move on from your situation.

Thank you for the kind words, and as I suspected, telling the whole truth for the first time has felt relieving for me.
We have been going to a family crisis counsler, however, she wants to see us each seperatly every week. There are 5 of us, and 2 of them see their own counselers and psycologists and psychitrists weekly for ocd, and adhd. I am so busy with all the work my attorney gave me, that I fear there wont be enough hours in the week to get all these things done. I am hoping that when the immediate safty issues are calmer, that we can tackle the therepy head on.
I contacted the women's shelter that the victim's advocate referred me to, and was told that they cant accomadate 4 children at this time. I would feel sorta bad going there anyway, when I do have other resources now. The space they do have would probably be better used on someone who has nowhere else to go.
Anyway, thank you again. I was a little worried after this thread took so lonf to show up. I feared maybe some aspects of my story were too offensive and I felt perhaps I should'nt have told so much. But is nice to get it out finally.
