Residences at Riverside in Manchester has two-bedrooms available for 1700.

I lived there a few years ago when it was 1300 for a 2 bedroom. Only apartment I could find in this price range that wasn't a total dump. Never had any problems here but maybe they have property elsewhere that will work for you!! good luck

(PS we were also moving away from an abusive relationship and my mom found it very comfortable here. It was also spacious enough that I would have no problem sleeping in the living room to give a kid a bedroom.)
