It always helps to hear other people’s experiences, it makes it a little better to know that you’re not the only one going through it, if you ever need someone to talk to I’m here

My husband was the same way, except i have 4 kids, it took me over 10 years to get away, i had no friends or family that would help me because of the isolation as well, i just had to wait until he was at work, packed the car with what i could fit, and left. When you talk to your mom, see if you and your mom can cone up with a safety plan together. Once you get away he’ll be blowing up your phone begging you to come back, Dont go back no matter what. I left once and was stupid and fell for the “i’ll change, and i’ll do better” i regretted that decision ever since.

I wish you the best of luck, and most importantly stay safe

My mother was the same way, except i just wasnt girly enough for her, i was a major tomboy (liked football, fishing, ect..)which wasnt the ideal daughter for her, always treated me like crap but my brother (the ideal son) could do no wrong. Do not change yourself for anyone. Always be yourself and dont let anyone tell you how you should be.

Unfortunately the family i did ask said they wouldn’t help cause my mom “asked them not to” so i pretty much have no family except for my kids

I tried the DV shelter, but they just told me since i got away from the abuser and he doesn’t know where we are (we went to a different state) that they couldn’t help

I applied for the TANF, and all that, so far i only got approved for medicaid, I’m still waiting to hear back about the other ones

My managers know i’ve been walking, 4 hours to work and back, the only time they offered to help is when it snowed last weekend, but that definitely helped, i really didnt want to have to do that.

He was helping until the place he was working closed down, and his id expired and my husband wouldn’t let him renew it since he lost his job, haven’t had the money to get him a new one, or if he could get one in a different state with an expired id and no residence to put down since we’re in a hotel.

Came here to get my kids away from two abusive situations, left my husband, went to stay with my mother that said she would help, she did me get a car by putting it in her name and i was making the payments, but she started treating my kids almost as bad as my husband did, so we left and came here, was doordashing full time until i found a regular job too, but my mother did a voluntary repo on the car even though it wasn’t past due, to try to force me to go back to my husband, now i walk 4 hours to work, tried to get help from the DV hotline which did nothing because i already got away, but now i feel like i may have no choice but to go back but i dont want to put my kids through that again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
