As an eighteen year-old mother of three, L’Tanya moved in with her boyfriend...shortly after they settled into his home, the man became abusive. Within a few months it was severe. One night he threw L’Tanya across the living room in anger. She flew through the air. She remembers that she stopped breathing when she landed on the floor. The force knocked the wind out of her. Her children were in the same room, watching.

That night, L’Tanya was afraid that the man, her abuser, would kill her. She called for help. She was connected with Center for Safety & Change and she left with her children for the Center’s shelter.

L’Tanya and her children slept well at the shelter. They felt safe.

At our shelter, staff are trained that when a child asks for something, to say: “Go ask your mom.”
This small, intentional act aims to restore a mother’s parental authority in situations where mothers have frequently been belittled in front of their children.
