Replay- Tips for staying safe from domestic violence during the holidays!*I didn't mention the use of drugs or alcohol as an added factor for increased violence at this time as well! And by "exchanges" I meant visitation exchange.* Could you take a minute to visit and "Like" my page Hope when there was none or join The Survivors Cafe.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and I will be sharing stories from courageous Survivors to educate, empower, and inspire others to know they are not alone. Each of these stories is unique but the message is the same. Abuse is abuse no matter if someone lifts a hand, plays mental or emotional games, or calls you names. Abuse does not discriminate. This can happen to your family member, best friend, co-worker, or in another part of the world. Please listen in to Kelly's story.
