Turned 51 and I’m having to start my life all over again. I could write a year long blog about why I’m here, doing this now. But it comes to the simple fact that I can’t tolerate the abuse anymore. I’ve been advised to get out before the worst happens- but I’m not in the financial place to do it on my own. I am currently in a Domestic Violence shelter with my ESA pets, Rex and Rose- enrolled in so many programs that tell me I’m not eligible.

Southern California, the place that has been my home for 45 years, where both of my children were born, is no longer affordable to live even a mediocre life (without killing your self on 13 hour /7 day job days).

I hate doing this, and it’s only under duress from people i love and trust.

i need help to get out! The toxicity is leaning towards more violence. Believe me, I’m documenting everything. 

I’m already living in Frooty Mama part time. Just worried that if i stay here it will be full time. I need help now to escape what is already dangerous.

I’m speaking out. And asking for help.
