I'm going to start by saying, if this is the place you're looking for to heal from your traumas, it is not it! This is going to be a lengthy truth of this program in hopes to get things fixed so the next women that DO come here won't endure what I did over the last year. I will start by saying this program has compassion for the women but the director and her husband don't . You will be constantly reminded of your past. Anything you share with the director, Rahamah in private, will be thrown in your face when she gets mad at you. She will share with other residents your personal information. I know this bc I've had two residents come and tell me things she said about me that were only told to her in confidentiality! When I asked her about what was said, she would call the resident that shared with me the info in the office and screem at them for telling me.... She will NEVER take ownership for her faults. Over this year I got 0 healing. I actually was kicked out with more traumas and triggers bc I got up from the table and went to my room bc I didn't want to yell back and forth with the director and her husband. I was kicked out 3 weeks before my exit time with a 10 month old overnight. Over this year, I was constantly told how bad of an attitude I had and that I need trauma counseling but never got help with it. (I found my own trauma counselor 3 weeks ago) After I had my baby the Director, Ruhamah would tell me that I looked like the cows her father used to butcher back in the day(bc he was a butcher) she would tell residents and staff how little I was when I got there and how big I am now. She is the type to be nice to you until you make her mad then she makes a new favorite and picks at you until you blow.. Then that's her reason to kick you out... She constantly said bad things about my mother and would tell me she doesn't know why I talk to her. Here are a couple more traumas that I have gained from being there.... Every time I went to the grocery store with my food stamps she would have a list of things I needed to buy for the house; oil, sugar, butter, tea, and just two weeks ago I had to by stew meat and kidney beans, BC she doesn't provide any food for the house besides Trader Joe's which is a donation. She also DOES NOT take us to the store. We have to hope and pray that we get a ride from a volunteer that comes. If we are working and miss that window of opportunity, like me, I have to pay an uber. Even though there are two vehicles that are for the program... After I had my son she told me, since I'm not pregnant, I had to buy my own toilet paper bc her toilet paper was for pregnant women even though that is something she always provided. She walks around talking about how they get these big donations from The Texans and the radio station but complains about the lights, laundry detergent and toilet paper. You have to sleep sweating bc she says the light bill is too high. So I found a way to turn it down, bc my SON was sweating in the night and they put different lock box over them. One month ago, the washer was broken and all residents needed to wash so she told me to pay for the two girls and she would pay me back. When we got back, she came up to me and asked how much ONE of the girls laundry was bc she wasn't paying for the other girl, bc she didn't like her. So she cheated me out of my own hard working money and gave me 4$. I spent 28$. When my son was 6 month old she would harass me that he should be walking and one night in the living room she made him stand up and of course he fell back, hit his head, and started crying! When I jumped up to get him, she pulled my arm and said, "no! Sit down, he is fine!" So, that made me take my son to the doctor the next day and I brought Ruhamah a note from my doctor saying that he wasn't ready to be walking yet. I had to do things like this just so she would leave me and my son alone about. (I still have the note) That night, I picked him up and went to my room... I stayed in my room often bc I needed to avoid her in order to not have any drama or arguments. Her husband has walked in on me fully nude about to get in the shower, bc he didn't know I was in there. I'm not sure why a man isn't knocking on EVERY door of a house that is full of pregnant women. They later installed a doorbell that they would use at their discretion. Her husband also left me for Sunday church bc he was mad bc he THOUGHT I had ignored him when he said time to go... In all honesty, I did not hear him bc I had my phone playing music. When I brought it up one Sunday to Ruhamah saying I'm going to get ready bc I don't want to be left, she got mad and went in her room and told her husband. He then pulls me to the office and tells me that he isn't going to apologize and he is tired of being reminded of it. I told him that I didn't ignore him that day I really didn't hear him and he told me, " Well, I hope your making plans for December bc that's when you need to leave." read more
