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 #coe
