Help for Domestic Violence Victims
Abuse is never okay. Abuse is never deserved.
In addition to physical danger, abuse can hurt the victim and family in many ways. While this website isn’t about domestic violence, abuse can be a factor in divorce so we want to refer you to resources that may be of help.* Click the links below to visit each web page.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline

When you visit their website, you will get this alert so I want to go ahead and tell you in case you are being monitored:

About Your Spirit
Being abused can make you wonder if you are worthless. Let me reassure you that you are of tremendous value. In fact, you are wonderfully made. God designed you like nobody else. He built into you a treasure of wonderful traits. I pray that you come to know your own value. Know that God is close to the brokenhearted. He has a plan for you for good.
