I am a physically disabled adult with a neurological movement disorder and an autoimmune disease, and I am attempting to raise funds to escape an abusive situation with my narcissist mother who is growing more abusive as her dementia progresses. She has been allowing her husbands to abuse me since childhood (for example, her current husband refers to me as the "Useless One" because I'm disabled) and recently I put my foot down and demanded she allow me to express how that makes me feel, because in 30 years, she has never allowed me to talk about the fact her husband abused me. Her response was to tell me to kill myself or be homeless, but she's not helping me with rent anymore. She has since taken steps to isolate me from my medical team and restrict access to medication, which includes antidepressants and pain management for my autoimmune disease. She has also determined a medically fragile person who has regular seizures and is a fall risk does not need a cell phone to call for medical help in an emergency.
My mother has been a nurse for 30 years. She is well aware of what she is doing.
My conditions in particular are dystonia and mixed connective tissue disease, as well as fibromyalgia (which exacerbates my pain and other symptoms). I use a cane and a wheelchair for ambulation.
I do have a work-from-home gig but it's not a regular job and I only can do it when they have available projects, so it's not consistent money I can count on. I have been working very hard on my youtube channel (Nebulous Reactions) and hope that will eventually be a lucrative enough to sustain me, but it takes time to build a channel, and I'm really hoping if I can get some help and get out of this situation, I can refocus on my channel.
I believe I may have an opportunity to move to Canada, which would be a massively wonderful change in terms of getting help. And any donations that help me get to that point would defy my ability to express gratitude.
Thank you for taking the time to hear me out, and take care. And never allow anyone treat you like you are not deserving of basic human dignity. <3
