There is no better place in the country than Bloomington, Indiana, for women that are leaving their husbands. Of course the game is that your husband is abusive, you have to get away from him, and there is no chance of reconciliation. Of course I have never heard of any of the womens shelters that offer some type of reconciliation. Just the fact that your husband doesn’t make enough money to satisfy you is reason enough.
A lot of the funding comes from using the word homeless, even though
these woman have never been homeless, nor will they ever be. If these shelters had never come about, these women would probably have stayed at home and put some effort into making their marriage work. But, they have been liberated from that.
In Bloomington, Indiana, they have several brand new buildings to house these woman until the checks start rolling in. They of course would get these checks until their youngest child turns eighteen.
In Cleveland, Ohio, sitting at bus stops around the end of the school day, you can actually listen to the girls discussing who they will marry, and what they will do after they become pregnant. They talk about which man would surely beat them if they had an affair with other people. This is a guarantee that they can get into a battered womans shelter. Once in, the wheels turn and they get a check, and subsidized housing, and just about anything that they can concieve of as being charitable, except reconciliation.
So those interested in doing your transitioning in the lap of luxury, just use the word homeless and battered in Bloomington, Indiana. The actual homeless men and woman in Bloomington get nothing like that. Homeless is just a word that gets them more funding.


I share the frustration of the anti man anti family attitude that plagues homeless and/or poor. If I were to get a divorce from my husband I could get so many benefits but since I am married we live off his poverty wage. If we weren’t together I could get health insurance and so many free services but
because it is not an option for us and we have been together for almost 22 years we get nada. Stupid!

well women are perfect and all men are evil, thats the fem nazi stance and in my case, i found it impossible to get a grant for college being homeless, they want to go off what my parents make even though i’m an adult
