Hi Madgirl,
For the domestic violence hotline, they will let you know what options are available to you for housing, financial help, safety. It is completely confidential, you don't actually have to do anything if you don't want to.
Remember they hear stories of domestic abuse each and every day, it's their job to know how to deal with it and to guide you.
As for people thinking you are overreacting, why is that an issue for you? If you mean the domestic violence people, no way will they judge you on that, again, they understand abuse.
