> This is interesting, it sounds like your wife went to an underground/unlisted type of women's shelter?

If i’m not mistaken, I believe that most shelters attempt to keep a cloak over their actual identity and purpose. They’re often vaguely named and are placed in non-obscure locations. Nonetheless, whether it’s listed or not, I’m glad their partner was able to get the help they needed.

I think this used to be more common when in the 60s and 70s, when shelters were basically run by small groups of women volunteers and relied on word-of-mouth to get the word out. A lot of shelters are now public, get funding, and have websites so women can find them easily. I'm not not really sure how common unlisted vs. public is nowadays.
