“To be able to go back and go to college, surrounded by all these women that were on the same journey … it was just a phenomenal experience. That was the first time I ever felt safe in my life. I think I spent the first year just looking around me, looking at my kids and my furniture, and the fact that I was in my home and I was safe. To have that space, that mental and physical space, allowed me to grow tremendously.”
