Hi TwinkleTwo,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum. I hope you find the forum a safe and supportive place to be with others who understand. As TwistedSister has already said, all refuges are different but you can ask any questions when you contact a refuge.
If you feel like you are in need of some additional support, you could chat to a Women’s Aid worker in confidence via our Live Chat service (open every day). They won’t tell you what to do, but can discuss your situation and signpost you to other support that’s relevant for you. You can access the chat service here: https://chat.womensaid.org.uk/
Do keep posting to let us know how you’re getting on.
Best wishes,
Lisa
