Safe Place Survivor Stories:
“I met my boyfriend when I was 14. What started as an attentive, protective relationship eventually became controlling and abusive. Throughout our time together, which included the birth of our three children, he gradually became more violent toward me, and eventually our children. When I finally connected with Safe Place, I was able to leave the situation and move into the shelter and then an apartment. At Safe Place, my boyfriend participated in the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project, and he also suggested that we take a parenting class together. He has continued to put in the work to change, and our relationship is in a much better place now.”
