Anytime a survivor finds themselves in an unhealthy or abusive living situation, they HAVE THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. Coercion into staying in a living situation that is unsafe or unhealthy is wrong, and should be another indication that the situation is not a good one.
There are groups that are dedicated to helping survivors find safe housing. I will not list them here, but visiting some of the major newslists for survivors will give information. But any survivor should investigate carefully any living situation before entering into one.
Other resources for finding safe housing could include contacting therapists in your area with a known, national reputation for being safe, for resources; contacting local churches or known safe pastors with a good reputation, or contacting safe house lists that are known to be safe.
*Important note: I myself do NOT have lists of safe houses and cannot address individual questions about them. Thank you.
