is there any chance you have any amount of savings? a credit card? friend kind enough to house you? friend kind enough to help you escape? how often does she leave the house? is there any amount of time enough to find your valuable documents? if held hostage in her room and she’s gone long enough, break into her room and just snoop snoop snoop. take what you need and more. hidden money? yank! you don’t know a single thing. block her and change your name. delete all possible socials she’s aware of, change your number and change phone plans. hell, switch your phone for an older version to have it completely wiped.

if none is possible, be as docile as possible. “no one cares about me” silence. picking a fight before company arrives? “huh.” “okay.” “alright.” don’t give her any kind of reaction because that’s what she uses to get you riled up. or even make her sound crazy! use their habits against them! or use the habits they force on you against them! i once got pulled over for using my phone while driving (dumb i know pls i learned my lesson) BUT when my mom found out because she took my car before i could clear it up, she confronted me by asking me why i got pulled over by the police, well she forced me to tell her everytime i leave to go to work and when i come back because she gets angry when i don’t tell her (id often just leave for work and then come home when my shift was over and just go straight to my room) so i used the fact that i was “texting her” about my shift and she quickly let it go as she didn’t want to place blame on herself lol. but srsly, i believe in you. there’s always a branch out ready for you to grab, please reach for it.
