Help Me Escape My Abusive Home

Donation protected
Hello. My name is Sarah, I am 21 years old. I created this gofundme because I am trying to escape a very toxic and abusive family. They won’t let me leave on my own accord, so I’m planning on getting away on my own somehow. They forbid me from leaving the house ever, even if its for a small walk. I can’t get a job. I can’t do anything except stay imprisoned in my own home. Having depression, anxiety and bpd makes my life even harder than it already is. Growing up I was physically and emotionally abused a lot. The physical abuse started around the age of 10 and stopped around the age of 19, but the emotional abuse is still ongoing and honestly its worse than the physical abuse.

Whenever I was physically abused, I would be tied up and left alone in a dark room after being slapped, punched and whipped. The last time I was abused I was hit with a metal pipe until my entire body was bruised for weeks. I grew up believing that everyone was out to hurt me which is why it took me so long to carry out this escape. They made me so dependent on them that leaving them, never became an option until recently. They brainwashed me to the point where I actually started to believe that I deserved the abuse. As a result, its made my life difficult to the point where I literally cannot trust anyone. The only way that I can be free is if I get married but I don’t want to use marriage as an escape route because I know it wouldn’t be healthy for me or for the other person. 


Since I have no savings and no income, here’s a better picture to show what I would need to cover my financial responsibilities:


I don’t have a car ($3000), hence why it’s so difficult for me to go anywhere. I used to have a car that I bought with my own money but they are currently in possession of it as its no longer under my name. I also would need a place to live soon (rent can range from $800-$1000 a month) and a mattress as I don’t own a bed ($300). The remaining of the money would go towards any utilities, food, and clothes until I can find a job and get back up on my feet.


Those of you who know me on tumblr know my last name isn't Olivia but I'm using it as a pseudonym in case they find this. 

I cannot thank you guys enough for reading this and supporting me.
