Question

What is it like to live in a refuge? (or Women's refuge)?

Answer 1

stinking and awful... but its better than an abusive bloke!! i stayed in a one in Consett Co Durham , and i shared a room with a woman and her 2 kids , she was nice but very unclean. her kids smelt of wee and i hated my baby being there.. the people in there help you get re located or rehoused and they are really sympathetic to your needs. women from all walks of life go to these places but my experience was good but smelly!!

im sure they are all not like that though, and this was a good 11 years ago now.

go and seek refuge and turn your life around, the men who do this NEVER change ... TRUST ME , a life without this man is far far better. take care xxxx hugs xxxx
