Each year, millions of women are abused in the one place they thought they would be safe: their homes. We have created this resource for two purposes: • To give abused women hope that their lives can change • To provide some suggestions for how to move toward recovery This is not a comprehensive study or complete guide on domestic violence. And it doesn’t provide all the necessary answers and help you will need. Our aim is to help you understand what is going on in your relationship, give you some insight into what domestic violence is about, and provide you with some guidance on how to change and rebuild your life and marriage.
