Des, you don't have to stay at the shelter if you don't want to. You can go and talk to the advocates and they can give you information about your rights. For instance, if your husband was physically abusing you and you managed to escape, but without your kids, they'd tell you that that doesn't mean you can't get your kids back. Things like that. If nothing else, go for peace of mind and to find out what not to do.
