Dotty -
I don't know WHY _ (and I mean this seriously) WHY you would explain how your husband has been treating you - and them NOT agree to talk to you. He flat out told you he feels you should have divorced long ago - he gives you NO support in your home, sides with your ABUSIVE daughter and the crisis center you called said you did NOT BELONG THERE? THEY HAD NO HELP FOR YOU? THEY HAD NO OTHER RESOURCES to point you to for having NO MONEY? THEY Did NOT suggest anything to you - just flat turned you out in the cold and said - GHEE lady - you're on your own? REALLY? I'd love to have their number, and make the same call with the same information. THAT IS NOT SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE PUBLIC......THEY ARE THERE - TO HELP - NOT TO TURN A BLIND EYE. YOUR DAUGHTER BEAT YOU. THAT IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. AND yet these people said - NO(PE - nah - YOu're calling the wrong place (by the way - sorry about the wrong number I got it off a plaque with several other national numbers I have here for help)
OKay - well - then......
COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH - all county mental health agencies have a sliding scale fee based therapy national program.
UNITED WAY - in EVERY TOWN - has some type of referal service -
MOST - CATHOLIC CHARITIES , LUTHERAN CHURCH or BAPTIST CHURCH HOSPITALS - have referrals (even if you arent religious or of that faith)
In the front of your phone book - or in the blue section of your phone book there should be CRISIS hotlines - and THEY should be able to give you PLENTY of referrals for youir area.
Really - I'll call that DVS for you - that's absurd.
