Hey fam, I really hate that I have to do this, especially right before Christmas, but I desperately need help & support to make rent.

My husband of the last 2 years is an abusive alcoholic & has left me in a terrible spot financially that I didn’t plan for because… how can you plan for self-sabotage?

Without getting into too much of the salacious details (DM me if you want to know more), he relapsed in a big way after 15 months clean. He was arrested 4 times in one weekend resulting in a DV against me & a DUI. He spent the last 20 days in county jail & now I’m expected to pick up the slack I trusted him to take. He said he would pay for half of my upcoming rent but accepting his money comes with attachments I’m not willing to concede to.

I’m embarrassed & heartbroken for having to ask for help but I cannot accept my abuser's money. He’s in the honeymoon phase of the cycle of violence RN & I can’t give in to the desire to be loved. This cycle has repeated itself more times than I can count & I desperately need financial help to get away from him and out of it.

I need to be made to feel safe. I want to lock my doors and know he can’t get in and hurt me. This man tortured me and knowingly put me in harm's way with every sip of alcohol & now I’m supposed to accept his money?

If you could please help me raise the funds to remain independent so I don’t have to rely on my abuser for a roof over my head this month, I would be forever grateful.

Thank you for reading
