Being that my family has dealt with this situation I am still confused. Who said you had to return to your abuser? That decision is up to you and only you. Do not let that be an excuse. Take responsiblity and stop blaming others. MY mother left my dad after 55 yrs of marriage and worked and found a way at the age of 77 years old, so do not tell me you can not find a JOB and that you HAVE to go back to your abuser! My sister left her 1st husband with two children and now she works with abused children ............ I could go on, but ONLY you can decide and if you do not wish to help yourself then give up that space and let someone else who wants to help themselves..............at least give them a chance if you do not wish to help yourself. I hope you decide your child is worth it. HMMM.........I think so, do you? Fast forward twenty years..........what are you going to tell your adult child.......you were not WORTH IT?

What's your idea of a "reasonable" amount of time, a person or family should be allowed to stay at a temporary shelter? Six months, a year, two years, three years? It's their choice to "go back to the same if not WORSE situation". YOU may see the shelter as USE-LESS. If so, WHY are you there?
