A love letter to transition house workers
By Anne Davis
HSA member and transition house worker
The call comes late at night. A woman is weeping; she says she has been beaten. Its not the first time and the attacks are more brutal each time. She is hurting and scared and doesnt know what to do. She thought her children were sleeping but now she knows the oldest child was awake and listening; he is also hurting and scared. Her partner has stormed out of the house; she doesnt know when he will return or what his mood will be when he does. She doesnt know what to do.
