@alanainbloomxo: It is so hard to leave. I spent 20 minutes prior to filming on calls, realized what was happening and that it was a great opportunity to teach people what really happens when you start calling for help. Nothing. Nothing happens. You have to call, and plan. You meet a million dead ends. The support available is not enough for real families with diverse needs. This is one example in one town in one state. Women stay. This is one of the reasons why. #abuse #dvawareness #marriage #relationships #coercivecontrol
DVRR they are here on TikTok as well and nationwide was created and ran by survivors

My ex husband had full control of “my” money, my car was in his name, my phone was in his name. I had no credit. I had no family. I was completely alone. It is not so simple as just leaving. Leaving takes money, support, resources

This is why we don’t leave. There’s a severe lack of resources

and why don't she just leave has probably has been told at some point. And it is like this exactly. I had no phone, no money, nothing. I didn't have time like this when I was in it.

This is great. Can you keep this as a series? Because people aren’t realizing it’s not that easy to leave!!!! And I rarely had 25 minutes by myself to get help.

it's really hard to get any assistance in general. if you're working in secret, it would be impossible

This is exactly the problem. Everyone wants to say just leave but nobody wants to help. Currently dealing with that exact issue

Call a Mosque. Depending on where you are, they usually have programs in place for situations like these. And the person does not have to be Muslim to receive help.

My mom took me and my sisters to a shelter in 2012 in the middle of the night panicked. They denied us. The three of us continued to be abused for 17 years after. Imagine if we hadn’t been turned away that night.

As someone who volunteered in DV shelters- this is accurate. As someone who went through DV themselves, this is accurate.

my local SOS shelter helped me. waited till he left and they picked me and the kids up. They helped me file charges, get therapy, order of protection, get custody, everything, and when in was ready, to get an apartment and job. 🥰

I worked at a ministry as a translator. We had an undocumented mom come in with 4 children (the kids were citizens) who were all being abused by dad. I made some calls. The DV shelter flat out said they wouldn’t take them because mom was an illegal immigrant.
