Help Me Rebuild After An Abusive Relationship

Donation protected
The picture of my eye, is explained. To those who know me, I'm ashamed that I have to do this and air it all out like this. You know, we all know someone who has been in an abusive relationship. Well this has been going on ten years now with half the bills, and got worse the past 6 months has been a living hell. My nerves were short worried about being wrongfully charged for something I'm not the cause of. Domestic abuse. The guy is always wrong, right. It may not be very common among men or for any man to want to admit he was in one. For the past 6 months, I had to worry about having the cops called on me if I didn't pay her half of the monthly bills that we split down the middle. She'd get angry or throw things if I refused, while she wasn't paying her way. Foolish me back in June, I put $900 on a car buy here pay here. I was saving to get us out of this hole she put us in. We were to split the rent $500 each at $1000 a month. But she would be short every month by $300 -$400. It was $1000 for the car that she only had $100 down for, at $300 a month, half being $150 a month. She took the car and left 01/02/26 after all it was all in here name. Stupid me. Not only that, she got us into a raw deal in trying to buy our own home last year. She paid out money that we had a budget for our rent and short-changed the last place we lived by $200, getting us evicted, and we ended up in a trailer park. Anytime I tried to talk or speak any kind of truth to her about her mismanaging our funds, she'd get belligerent and violent, throw kitchen chairs across the room at the same time threaten to call the cops on me. Three months ago, she went to hit me, I ducked to miss being smacked across the face and she sliced my eyeball with her fingernail, that's the picture. I had to play it cool while she victimized me for six months, worried a woman can get me thrown out in the cold if the cops got called. From what I learned through mutual friends, she made me the villain. She played the victim and started aGoFundMe page. Long story short, I'm not the villain in her story. The truth is, the villains in her story are the guys I've discovered she's been cheating on me with when I found her old phone and decided to do some snooping, including her ex-boyfriend. Not two months after we moved to New Hampshire from Massachusetts. She was in text with him making plans to meet. That was 5 years ago and it's been going on since. I want to thank everyone who can donate. I learned once again, love is blind. This will be used for the sole purpose of paying my rent for the next three months and get a used car to just get me back and forth to work, do door dash, groceries shopping and taking care of my cats. I don't do drugs and I very very rarely drink.

Thank you all sincerely.
