Stand with Mikayla Against Abuse
Donation protected
I am Mikayla, 25. I have 3 children. I have been trying to get out of a domestic situation. I was co-dependent on my husband, and now I am trying to regain my independence. Unfortunately, under the circumstances, I have to ask for help. I am essentially starting over. My husband was arrested and charged with domestic violence, and there is a protection order in place.
To say the least, he is a covert narcissist.
I am doing the best that I can to provide for my children and me.
The funds will go towards providing a better life for us that is safe. I have suffered emotional, mental, physical, and sexual abuse. I have been isolated from my parents for a long time. I am conditioned to abide by him, or I will not have a way of help or be able to visit my family.
He has made remarks regarding my health, saying that because I was not listening to him, God is “punishing me” with my food. I would get sick sometimes if I ate the food that he made for me. He said that maybe if I listened to him and was “nicer,” God would not be punishing me.
I have been sexually abused, so much so that there was a particular incident where he claimed it was my period when it was, in fact, what he had done to me after an argument I thought was settled. Instead, it wasn’t.
I have had unexplainable marks on me. There was a particular question I was asked that stuck with me after I stated I was a heavy sleeper, along the lines of if he could have sexual contact with me while I was asleep to see if I would wake up.
I have heard every name in the book, if I’m being completely honest with you, that has dwindled my self-esteem majorly. I am trying to see the silver lining to all of this. It has been difficult.
I expected to spend my forever with this person and have a happy family. I can see now that we both have growing up to do. We are incompatible in a lot of ways that I don’t think will change. I did not want to give up on my husband as I still love him a lot. I have been abused for the last time, though.
Whatever is donated will go towards a better future for my kids and me. It will cover bills, necessities, and the things that I need to get taken care of. $1 or $100, it all matters. Thank you.
