I didn't know what I was living through till my friend told me how my relationship wasn't normal. It was her that called My Friend's House and had one of the counsellors go to her house to meet with me. The staff at the shelter provided me with support 24 hours a day, if I was having a rough night like at 3am I could go sit and talk with someone. I always had the support and guidance. I don't know what would have happened if it weren't for My Friend's House.
