DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic Violence Hotline: (USA) 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233)
TTY access 1-800-787-3224
Millions of people just like you deal with violence at home. Although
it is usually hidden, this kind of abuse is very common and affects people
from many different walks of life. Domestic violence does not go away
on it's own! It tends to get worse and become more frequent with time,
and is often harmful to your children as well.

MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES
Yes, they exist. Yes, they are "for real" as opposed to
someone "making it up". No, I'm not qualified to discuss THIS
in anything but the most generic terms, as I am not a multiple myself.
Note to those who pay attention to trigger warnings: the Dark Personalities
website specifically does not use warnings. Be warned.

POST-RELIGION SUPPORT
These sites are not here to de-convert anyone. They are here for the support
of those who have ALREADY left or decided to leave their respective religions.
People change, their interests change, etc. for whatever reason. Thus,
a religious style that may have appealed to them before may no longer
be as fulfilling or welcoming. I list these sites because ANYONE could
be in these circumstances, and I'm sure they'd like to know they're not
alone too. There are probably other support pages along these lines, but
these are the ones that come up most readily on the search engines. If
you are comfortable with your current religion, then I don't recommend
reading these pages since they will probably be a waste of your time.
