UPDATE...re: HELP!! Sitter needed for my two fur babies!

[L. Kelly]

Hi all...

It seems now that I need help as much as my kitty boys do. I have called all of the local
shelters in Alberta and no one can or will help me. It appears that there are many, many
men who are beating up on their wives, and the shelters are all full. How sad... :-(

The problem is that because I am in an emotionally rather than physically abusive
situation, I don't qualify for their help. I have to accuse my boyfriend of hitting me
when he hasn't, and have him charged. This is the Canadian Legislation on abuse. If I
don't lie to get help, then there is nothing out there for me. In the meantime, he goes
to jail for something he has not done. I couldn't live with myself if I made a false
accusation against him just to help myself.

I have been hit many times in past relationships and will never tolerate that again,
however, I find that the emotional abuse is much worse than anything I ever endured
physically. It leaves scars that will never heal. Bruises and broken bones get better in
time.

So, I guess what I'm saying now is that I too am looking for a room. If anyone in Alberta
has a room for my boys and I, for a short period of time, it would be greatly
appreciated. I have very little money (only enough to feed myself and my boys), but will
be looking for work as soon as I get settled someplace. I will happily pay room and board
and maybe even stay on, if things work out and we get along okay. We can help each other.

Hugs,
Lynn

I wish I knew someone in the area who could help. Were you able to contact
any of the YWCAs or YMCAs in your area? They can sometimes help. Social
services rather than women's shelters specifically may also be able to offer
more options for you.

Good luck!

Hi Lynn,

I called a Shelter in Alberta, and she told me that they are full today but
she thinks there will be some openings tomorrow. She also told me that
whomever you spoke with misguided you because phychological abuse is
recognized as domestic abuse (I know that in Ontario psychological abuse is
recognized as being just as damaging as physical abuse). The phone number
for you to call is 403-627-4868, she suggested you call her tomorrow and she
will help you get settled.

To be honest, I think would be best for you to get some support at a Women's
Shelter, as there is alot of adjustments that you need to go through right
now they can provide you withthe emotional support to start rebuilding your
self-esteem. It is important you focus on gaining your confidence back
before you start trying to get out in the workforce.

Good luck,

Fuga
