Battered Mother's Custody Conference 2009

I am posting this because someone did a search query for it and landed on my blog. You have a little over a month before the conference begins in New York. I was told that these conferences are excellent. I really hope that this year, it is more than excellent. 

I had the privilege of hearing Mo Hannah and Barry speak at the NCADV conference. I also had the opportunity to personally speak to Barry and Ben.  It was so odd to hear men speak in support of women.  I'm sure my face was but a blur of the thousands of mothers that they run into during this journey.
