- Hi I'm crystal I've been homeless on off now for just over two years and for the last 3 years as I've been in a awful domestic violent relationship i was made stay in places and with people i didnt know and when I did I did not want to be around as it was not very safe for me most times or was just adding to the mental damage and torture I was already subjected to. Its been 3 months ago now since i finally escaped my nightmare of my life if you could call it that! Since escaping and most time in the last year or so where I have ran away to get away from this man I spent my days and nights homeless, anytime I stayed at a friends of the few I had he would find me and cause trouble for them so in the end I sisnt go to anyone as I feared what he would do to them. This is the longest I've been free of him and his physical and mental chains . It took so long to get away from this man as he had met me when I had only just come out of an awful relationship was down and broken and homeless cus of it he gained my trust and made me think he was great and that I needed him. He basically took used me and broke me that I couldn't even believe my own thought! All I knew is I was nothing and would be less without him I lost the little relationship i had with my sister wasnt allowed any friends or to really go anywhere and no access to my own money i couldn't wear nice things and had to be careful not to talk to people especially males I spent my days trying to make him happy cooking and cleaning after him which was never hood enough showed up and made out to be some kind of parasite who he was help on front of his friends. When I got my own room somewhere away from him he made it that I hot kicked out and by drinking and playing load music always shouuongband bringing he friends about I had no choice hit to live where he wanted and say he wanted. I asked for help but none ever listened so gave up almost then ended few up northbfyom everything I knew he wanted me isolated and controlled and I was until one day I started fighting back and got away from hima few times but bo one would ever help me so he would rund me and I'd end up with no other choice but him this was a horrible pattern for months and months while I was with him I spent days just listening to soul destroying abuse and putting up with the physical abuse and satisfying him when I didn't want to. I am finally away from him now been over 3 months properly started this journey of making my break of that in November and since February have been homeless for over 50 percent of my days and nights bit it wasn't as cold and my health wasnt as bad. No its becoming articulate conditions and I've already been spiked and assaulted all because of being on the street I've been I'll alot my chronic back pain and sciatica only made worse by hard ground and tiny spaces and my mental health the same. I have just for well getting rid of a case of scabbies which someone or somewhere. The council just keep telling me I'm nt a priority and clearly I am I am vulnerable every day out her in many ways. All I can do is hope I can get somewhere and soon as my physical and mental state are deteriorating badly. What I'm asking for is abit of help maybe to give me enough for a place for a few months even weeks or for a few days at worse at least over Christmas give me a chance to build myself and life again a few months would defo do that when the weeks would but most definitely give me that vital boost of making and getting myself into better health, and even just those few days will help me heal and repair my spirit cause like I said I'm very broken and am slowly building myself back up. I need somewhere to live I need some cloths and shoes and I need a few good meals lol . Whatever anyone can do I will appreciate it while heartedly. I hope I can be somewhere by Christmas and on going to help other homeowners and abused women if I am even if it's just same as me somewhere stay however nights can manage and make sure however many of us can at least eat and drink k even if it is only a few days or even just Christmas day please with your help I can do something and I promise whatever it is will be as great as what you give me givs me chance to thanks crystal
