Help Scott Rebuild After Escaping Abuse

Donation protected
My name's Scott. Back in March of 2024, I met my ex. I moved from Louisiana to Missouri just to be with her. The first month we were together, she was the sweetest, kindest person I ever met. We had fun, and I fell very in love. By the 3rd month we were together, everything completely flipped and hit the fan. It was crazy. For the next year, I lived the life of what I guess you can call a current-day slave. I was always watched, never alone, controlled to the point of exhaustion. She would threaten to kill my family and wish for me to die, even my dying grandmother and my sister's unborn child. She would make me block my family, stop talking to them, and lose interaction with them. She would have me lie, showing everyone and anyone a fake face, hitting me over and over and over. I endured and pushed through, always wishing everyone the best and helping people even if I got beat for helping. I had a warden, not a girlfriend. Why didn't I leave, you might ask? Well, every time I would try, her grandparents would let her keep my belongings and throw me out with nothing but the clothes I had on, trying to make me homeless. She got so comfortable hitting me that she was okay with recording me. Well, the other day, she pulled a knife on me, and thank the Lord, I caught it on camera. They did the same thing as always, trying to kick me out and make me homeless, threatening to call the cops. Well, this time I said, just do it. I'm ready to leave, but I'm not leaving without my belongings and my stuff. They gave me my wallet, phone, and clothes but kept everything else. I tried my hardest to make this girl happy. I paid all the bills, bought her 2 cruises, one upcoming June 20-23rd, and another at the end of the year. I bought her a $4,000 car, put $6,000 into renovations on a trailer for her, and numerous other things, only to be told I'm not shit and I do nothing each and every day. Now, I'm in a shelter, but I'm seeking help and trying to see if I can gain money to get myself an apartment and some furniture. All the other money raised I want to donate to the shelter helping me, all in good faith that God will help me push through. I pray I have a wonderful 22nd birthday this month; I turn 22 on the 23rd.
