 Hello, I’m Maeghan. I’m helping to raise funds for one of our AuDHD Connections community member who is in need of assistance. Please read his story below:
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Ande, 39
</div>
<div>
 Autistic, ADHD, hearing impaired.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>Stuck in a nightmare involving a schizophrenic with NPD who masked.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 For two years, she had trapped me and then unmasked completely. We have been broken up for months now.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 She controls the food and money for 7 years for a house I've lived in for 22 years, but I have no power to remove her.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>Under emotional violence daily.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>Have endured more physical violence than I could label in these 7 years. </strong>
</div>
<div>
 Battered with fists, bitten, stomped, slapped.
</div>
<div>
 Beaten over the head with brooms, a curling iron. Beaten about the face with Hot Wheels tracks. Extension cord around the neck. Knife to throat twice. At least one cracked rib. Scar on my face from a plastic bottle being thrown so hard at my head it split my skin. Large scar on my back where I was repeatedly beaten with barbecue tongs.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 She's broken every pair of glasses I have ever had during this time. She has destroyed almost every physical possession I own besides my clothes and phone, which she has tried to destroy on two occasions.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>I fear for my life every day.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 The more I unmask and show unwillingness to involve myself in her manipulation, the faster things are escalating.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 She has sexually assaulted me at least once over this time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I sleep on the floor in a room with no door, because all the doors have been slammed and their frames over her raging.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The worst facet of this is our daughter. I have simply endured this for as long as I have only for the reason that I don't know how to leave and protect our daughter, who is 8, and also autistic and ADHD. She doesn't understand what's going on. While she's not been under the same level of physical violence I've been under, she is there to witness all of the emotional violence. I have seen her be spanked too hard. I have seen her with her hands around my daughter's neck.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I have been in complete autistic shutdown, not being able to work the majority of this time, and all of my bank accounts have been bled dry.
