When you're living in fear, it can feel like no one understands what you're going through. You may feel stuck—trapped between the life you have and the life you wish you could give yourself and your children. At Family Crisis Center (FCC), we want you to know one thing: you are not alone.
Relationships are never perfect. Every couple argues, and rough patches are part of life. But when your relationship starts to leave you feeling afraid, small, or unsure of yourself, it may be something more serious.
If you're a mother living with domestic violence, your first thought is often about your children. You wonder: Are they okay? Are they hurting? Am I doing enough to protect them? These are questions many women face and they’re not easy. But you’re not alone, and there is help. Even if children are not physically harmed, living in a home where abuse is happening can deeply affect them. They may struggle with fear, confusion, or guilt. Some children become anxious or withdrawn. Others may act out, trying to make sense of what they’re experiencing.
