I was married for 6 years and had 2 small children. I was married
to my high school sweetheart. After the birth of our 2nd son, he
began to become MORE controlling than ever.
I was a victim of domestic violence for almost 20 years. I
finally left for good the third time. I am back in school to be a
teacher and went through my local 64 hour training to be
certified as an advocate.
I am a 30 year old mother of 4 handsome boys. I was in a
physically and emotionally abusive relationship for 1.5 years.
Once I made up my mind to leave that situation I felt empowered
and confused. I didn't know where to go or how to get things on
the right track. I made some calls and was then referred to
contact the WEAVE support and information line.
This can happen to anybody. I always thought that being assaulted
was a result of certain behavior, but it is not. It is NOT about
what you do, it is about what the perpetrator does. And once that
person has made up their mind, all you can do is try and stay
safe.
I came alone and I’m leaving with a handful of friends. I’m gonna
miss everyone of you and I wish you the best to all. Be strong
and don’t let anybody tell you less. Learn from me that
everything is possible just with a little hard work. I’m sad but
at the same time happy because I know I made it.
Hi. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to WEAVE. A while back I lived
in an abusive relationship. As an 18 year old, I didn't know what
to do or where to go or who to turn to. I was beaten physically,
emotionally, mentally, and sexually. I always thought it was my
fault because he always blamed me no matter how much I tried to
please him.
WEAVE provides crisis intervention services to women, men and
children in Sacramento County who have experienced domestic
