Barbara Sheehan On Oprah

I saw today that Barbara Sheehan who killed her abusive ex police officer husband was on Oprah today. What a sad sad story. It's too bad that her husband was so abusive that she had to kill him to get away from him. Most of us just have mundane lives where we pay our bills, and auto insurance, and never have to deal with abuse. Sometimes women have no way out. My thoughts are why didn't she try to get away when he was gone? Leave and go to a women's center? Here where I live there are women's centers that no one knows the locations of that you can contact a abuse hot line and they will get you to a center where your husband can't find you. They will even take you out of town. I just wonder if she tried to get away?
