We've all read about a spouse who are killed by their 'estranged' or 'ex' spouse - and how the order was routinely violated time and time again. Take your kids and pets and run for your life.

I'm a survivor of domestic violence who fled Iowa to get away from my abuser. Many women stay at home rather than go to a shelter because shelters do not take family pets. My cat would have been killed if I had left her with him. Nora, please do pursue it in Iowa. I’m a survivor of domestic violence who fled Iowa to get away from my abuser.
