It really riles me seeing her post this place she is opening, like it's some new cool coffee shop for hip young mums to drop into.
I can imagine how gaudy and loud it looks outside and is a million miles away from what she is supposedly making it's intended use for.
I live in the North West of England and I needed some help when i split from a violent ex partner because he was still trying to control me and my children. I got sent an address in an email to go to which was a real help centre/refuge ect.
I had walked past that place so so many times previously and never even knew it existed, it's just a normal house on a normal busy road and the only way you know its what it is, is by the small plaque beside the letter box on the door that tells you the name of the place, and because of the safety of the place. No men are allowed inside, you have to sign in and out, and they ask that you don't use your phone inside too because of the confidentiality of everyone inside.
I attended a couple of courses on awareness there. And I think what they do is amazing and it's all behind that front door that no one really knows about.
Whereas this place R is setting up will stand out like a sore thumb and any woman/ mother genuinely needing help will have the shizz ripped out of her and R will break all confidentiality when decides to tell all on her stories cos she likes to chat about other people's misfortune and trauma.
