On March 22nd of 2012, the warm, kind angels working at the Seton House took my son and I under their care. We were leaving a very bad domestic environment. My son used to have nightmares every night, and he wanted to sleep with me all of the time. Upon moving to the Seton House, the second night to be exact, my son started to sleep in his bed again. That was the beginning of an amazing journey for both of us. At the Seton House, we found peace, safety and an opportunity to be ourselves. The staff was always very supportive and they believed in me. They believed in me when I thought I was broken. When I thought I was not good enough. They helped me to believe again. I’ve prayed to God for an opportunity to get out of my terrible situation, and He sent the \"angels\" at the Seton House. They worked with me and supported me through college, and now, thanks to them I am an elementary school teacher. My dream has come true. I just would like to remind everybody of how important the Seton House can be. The Seton House saves lives. It certainly saved my life. I don’t know where I would be if it hasn’t been for this place. The counseling, the training, the amazing opportunities that this place provides for all parents running from domestic violence are an invaluable gift to this community. Please think of my son Adrian and me as an example of how the Seton House and its incredible staff can save lives. I feel blessed and thank God for all of the help I received that allowed me to become an independent and productive member of society. I am very proud to say that I was a resident of this amazing.
I came to Seton House in 2003 because I had no other place to go. I had just left my ex-husband, and he was an alcoholic. He was mentally, physically and emotionally abusive, so I had to get byself and my two young children out of the situation. What I remember about Seton House (since it's been 20 years now) is learning to manage my money, save money and put money away in case of emergencies. I tell people that Seton House helped me financially and emotionally when I was at my lowest. I recommend Seton House to others so they can get help like I was helped.
I first came to Seton House on New Year’s Eve 2014, I had hit a rough patch in life and living on my own wasn’t an option for me financially. My move into an apartment at Seton House was the best thing that could have ever happened for my family. At the time I had no idea just how much I needed all the women at Seton House. They became my backbone for strength, emotional, and mental support as well as my outlet to vent or cry or talk about something I was really excited about. There was never a moment of judgement, only kind words, encouragement, and the honest reality of truth if I needed it. I had registered for college before moving into Seton House and started classes in January 2015. However, I would not have made it without the support of Seton House. I am now needing 22 more credit hours to graduate with an Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice and I plan to continue on to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree. Living here provided my children with structure and stability. We had a family there, a family that I still can go back and talk to if I need to. I didn’t develop a short-term system; I developed a life-long family and plan. These women believed in me from day one, they believed in my children and my ability to go to college, work, and be a mom to my kids. I wouldn’t be the strong confident mother and student that I am today without Seton House. Thank you to everyone at Seton House for believing in me and to everyone who makes this an option for single parents.
