Help. Domestic violence against women.

11 years ago

Pls Help, i have no one else to turn to... We recently moved to GC for my husband's job. I am a native speaker and having a relatively easy time getting adjusted, etc. however for a multitude of reasons he is not, and becoming increasingly frustrated and, sadly, threatening and all kinds of scary things lately. Tonight I actually feared he might hurt me and I'm now camped out in the kids' room trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I am just barely becoming acquainted with the city. At some pt in the 2 months we've been here I seem to have come across some sort of gov't agency building for the protection of women against domestic violence. I never in my life dreamed that I'd need to go somewhere like that, but I do-- TOMORROW. If someone could pls point me in the right direction, or a resource for someone in my position, I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks,
