Help Autistic Mom Recover from Domestic Violence

Donation protected

This is unfortunately one of many occasions where my face looked like this over the course of a few years. The final straw was getting thrown through a wall (more the fact that I noticed myself losing words and having a harder time than ADHD and depression usually give me remembering things). That realization didn’t come with resources though.


I managed to keep my child shielded from the worst of it, but she is every bit as traumatized by the bits and pieces she’s seen as I am by what I’ve lived. The goal now is to get us (both on the spectrum and still reeling from the reality that overtook our expectations of joy in our new family) to some peace so that we can heal and bond again outside the toxic environment we spent so much time in.


Isolation and a lack of money made it hard to get out of the relationship that I literally thought would kill me, now the same things are keeping me stuck in a small conservative town where the only lifeline I have is that person. And that isn’t a lifeline.


I am fundraising to get my little beater car fixed and get enough for a deposit and a couple months rent somewhere else. If there is extra, it will go toward therapy.
