I have been in your shoes before as a single mom and in an abuse relationship. I unfortuantlly at the time am having money problems or I would help you in anyway I possible could. Here are a few things I did to get the help I needed I hope that they will work for you. Try the welfare energy department, your town of trustee's, call the places your bills are through and they will give you some places in your area that will help. The place that helped me the most was The Salvation Army, Thank God for those people! And also many churches will help and some offer councling which might be a good idea for the horrible things that you have went through. And most of all find God in your heart and he will walk you through your lifes most troubled times. And be greatful that your children are there with you every moment and they are healthy. Hope every thing works out for you and that my information was helpful! God Bless You! Mother of three Jessica
