Catrina had been living in Italy with her Italian husband for 4 years. Over time he became more abusive. He had never been physically abusive but his insults, jealousy and need to control her were unbearable.
When she became pregnant with Chloe he accused her of having an affair and he was convinced the baby was not his. When Catrina was six months pregnant with Chloe, in a fit of rage he pushed her and she fell down. That is when she called us.
Catrina knew is she had Chloe in Italy then she would not be able to leave. We were able to safety plan with Catrina and get her home before Chloe was born.
Catrina and Chloe are doing really well. They are living with Catrina's parents and Chloe is adorable!
We can't thank you enough for caring about American domestic violence victims in foreign countries! The AODVC Team.
