This could happen to anyone.

I just read a touching story of a woman in San Francisco who escaped a violent relationship with her three month old infant and two young children.  She basically left with the clothes on her back.  While she has gone through the “proper” channels, has a social worker and is trying to get shelter and aid for her family, resources are in short supply.  She has had to beg in order to pay for the hotel and food for herself and her family.

It takes a great deal of courage to leave an abusive relationship.  Especially when still nursing an infant and having nowhere else to go.

I found out about this from my friend who sent me the link via her blog.  You can read about K’s story here at tangobaby.  I encourage everyone to read K’s story and follow her progress as she pulls herself together, gets a job and regains her life.
