Intro

If you are reading this and you do not feel safe in your home relationship or body right now I am glad you are here. Your safety matters more than any book or website.

If you are in immediate danger

Call your local emergency number right away.

If you can leave safely go to a public place a trusted neighbor or a friend and call from there.

If you are not in immediate danger but you do not feel safe

You deserve support even if no one has seen the bruises even if they are all on the inside.
