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. :)
