A WORD ABOUT VIOLENCE:
"Al-Anon's gentle process unfolds gradually over time, but those of us facing violent, potentially life-threatening situations may have to make immediate choices to ensure safety for ourselves and our children. It is not necessary to decide how to resolve the situation once and for all - only how to get out of harm's way until this process of awareness, acceptance, and action can free us to make choices for ourselves that we can live with.
We all deserve to be safe."
