HeartTornOut, yes that kind of place. You may have more than one near you too depending where you live. I would give them a call and see how they can help you. Sometimes they have a waiting list because sadly that many women need that kind of help.. again depending on your area. Their address is usually never listed anywhere in order to keep it a safe place. Abusers cannot just show up there. I am in Canada but I am pretty sure that our women shelters are similiar to the U.S.

The women's shelter can also help you with legal things like Healing4me is suggesting about your finances. So many people that are getting out of these situations do need legal help in some form or another.
