Amazing Love
"God never gives up on us," says 37-year-old Sidonia, a guest in our Women's Center. Sidonia grew up in Hartford with a father and than a stepfather who abused her mother. By the time Sidonia was 15, she and her mother were fighting all the time and she turned to drinking to escape.

From there, Sidonia's life consisted of a series of her own abusive relationships that left her alone with three children and addicted to alcohol, PCP and prescription drugs.
