National Domestic Violence Hotline

I did a search on the phone number and this is what came up. I hope posting the url here, this time is ok.

Also remember there are shelters all over the United States.

I would like to remind people that not always is it a woman who is abused .....
many cases its a man who is being abused -

and many times a woman sits back and watches her child be abused ...........  if you are a minor do not give up ..find a close person to talk to a teacher / school nurse/ principal etc.  My school principal helped me .. and it did not happen over night!
