Jill arrived at the Refuge with her young child. She was heavily pregnant with her second child. She had lived with domestic violence for a long time. She believed that the problem was hers, that she was to blame for her partner's behaviour. With the support of her key worker and access to a counselling service she now recognises that she is not responsible for her ex-partners actions. Shortly after arriving at the refuge she gave birth to her second child. Jill is taking pleasure in watching her child grow.
