Roar Rose Roar.
Rose, this is one of the best things I have heard you doing for yourself and I am so proud of you I could just burst.
When I volunteered at a women's shelter, I was amazed at the resources, support and opportunities these places made available to women, whether or not they ever stayed in a shelter and whether or not they have left their abusive situation.
It sounds like you have taken a big step and made a valuable connection to something that may open the door to freedom for you.
Roar, Rose, Roar, indeed!!
