Help a Family Escape Domestic Abuse
Donation protected
I, my mom, and my sister are in a domestic abuse situation.
I found out two years ago that my dad cheated on my mom (multiple times), and began to question everything in my life, and it became clear that my father is not a safe person and has been mentally and emotionally abusive towards me, my mom, and my siblings, for as long as I can remember. Since then, all of us have started being far more clear about our boundaries with him, but this has caused him to become more and more agitated and angry, going as far as breaking household items in frustration. We have not been physically hurt as a routine, but it has happened, usually under the excuse of "discipline".
These past two months have been very difficult, and tension has been rising. I don't have reason to believe I'm in immediate danger, but I don't want to wait until things get to that point, as we are getting to a point when it feels like things could change on a dime. I want to be able to leave this situation, and to help my mother and younger sister leave as well, but we have been made financially dependent on my dad, and so don't have the money to do it.
For those of you who are financially able, any little bit helps. The goal right now is to completely cut ties with him, and we have a path forward, but it's just a money issue right now.
I am a content creator (youtube, twitch, tiktok) and have used my work as an outlet for my frustrations and anxieties, but I feel like things are reaching a breaking point, and we really need help. To anyone who is able to give, thank you in advance.
