I'm currently in a relationship with a survivor of DV/PV. Yesterday she had a break down amd cried in my arms for about 30 minutes when she realized the extreme difference in how i have constantly treated her compared to her abuser. What are some small things that i can do to help her with her healing?

Hey. I work in a lock down residential therapy center for teens. A lot of your hard times I have been through and I only been a employee for 9 months and counting.

Can't agree with you more. I'm 23, fresh or of college and this was my first job when I graduated. At first I thought the pay was great, I was making more then I ever had, but now I can't figure out how I'm ever going to afford my own place. As far as the appreciation, from the girls I work with I understand, but the higher ups are the ones that hurt the most. Especially when most of them leave mid day knowing all the chaos happens during 2nd shift

Agreed. And when you try and ask for assistance some look at you like you're being ridiculous and should be able to handle the situation yourself

My biggest complaint with ours is that all he cares about is numbers. He brings in the ones we really can't handle who end up being sent somewhere else just for the money
