Hello, I can’t share my name or face due to the situation I am in, as it would not be safe for me or my family at this time. I lived in the same state almost my whole life. I have had cancer since I was a preteen, went through treatment, surgeries, and I still have issues from it. I had state medical insurance my whole life to pay for the treatments and scans. I get infections a lot because the chemo left some impact on my immune system. Because of this I am unable to work a full schedule or stand for too long. I do work here and there when I can, and my husband works 40 hours a week or more. He has a good job. This past two months I had been to the emergency room about 6 times. Last year I lived in my home with husband and daughter, had insurance and everything I needed. I hung out with my family, had friends, pets, healthcare and I was close to my hospital I had always gone to. My daughter who was 5 at the time would stay with her grandparents maybe a couple days a month to hang out. Usually my husbands parents, rarely mine. The last time she saw the latter, she was sexually assaulted by a 15 year old boy. Her family member. My family member. She was supposed to be safe there. They were supposed to be trustworthy. I did not leave her with him. I left her with adults. For one night. A few weeks later she broke down and told me things a child that age wouldn’t know. I called the adult family member she was supposed to be supervised by and told them. They told me not to call the police because it would “ruin their reputation” I called the police and reported it. I’ve had so many miscarriages. I wasn’t supposed to be able to conceive a child. I only got one. It’s my duty to protect that baby no matter what others want or say. After calling the police and everything the assailant lawyered up and wouldn’t not speak. The adults denied everything and told all my family It wasn’t true. They were also my landlord. An angry sibling of mine came to my house because they weren’t being told anything and they wanted to know the truth. After hearing my experience they were angry went and had a talk with the adults who were covering it up. Two days later I got an eviction notice. I was a little behind on rent I will say but that day I had sent all the money I had to pay it back before the notice was put on my door. Almost 4,000 dollars I sent that morning. I got no notice from the land lord and had less than 20 days to pack up my two story house and find another place. If you rent or get apartments, you know that that isn’t enough time. You have to work around availability. And nothing was available at the time. We were forced to move states to live with family. The problem there is it’s the side of the family that denies the assault. And my health insurance, and hospital are in my home state. They talk of the people who hurt my daughter everytime I am around them, and often say I shouldn’t have called the police, and they say my daughter wasn’t assaulted. so I stay in my dwelling just outside theirs and I don’t come out much anymore. Mind you when I took my daughter to the doctor for the checkup afterwards they had to send me to a sexual assault doctor instead to “document the damage” where they confirmed that she was indeed assaulted badly. The police confirmed it, as well as her therapist. My daughter was in therapy, school, and getting treatment for the assault. She didn’t get to go to her kindergarten graduation or finish the school year. She had to abruptly stop her therapy and treatment. I never got therapy though I desperately needed it. I was too busy trying to help my daughter fell ok again. She had constant nightmares and would no longer sleep alone. She’d wake up shaking asking if all family is bad and if it’s normal to “pretend to be good” and then hurt someone like that. She calls him a villain and said she didn’t know they were real. We have been in this place for a year now. We are trying to move back to our home state. Getting insurance has proved to be difficult here and I am having to pay out of pocket for medical expenses in the thousands. We desperately want to get back home so that we can feel at peace, get our health insurance, be around all we know, and to just get away from here before it gets worse. It’s difficult and near impossible to save enough money to move while paying my medical expenses and I am still trying to get insurance in this state but I keep getting denied. It was so easy in our home state. Our goal is to raise enough to move back to our home state. It’s not far away but it will cost some to haul our things and get a space of our own with the setups we need. I’m scared to even post this or ask for help honestly out of fear of my family somehow finding this and getting angry at me which I can’t handle anymore. my husband, daughter, and I have been through so much these last 2 years. And I think I have reached a cap for stress as in I’m not sure how much more I can handle. My daughter is doing better now but I still want her to go back to therapy once we have insurance, she had to stop so abruptly and I worry that she will never process what she went through and that it may hurt her as she gets older and starts to understand more. I can’t talk to anyone in my family about the assault, since they say they don’t believe it happened. I feel hopeless and alone all the time now and I think it would be best to live on our own again. I don’t want it to be a bitter exit when we move. I want to move away while I can still contain my feelings and words about the situation. I’ve already lost my brothers, secondary father, mother, and secondary grandparents because of this situation.
