Help a Disabled Trans Person Escape Abuse

Donation protected
Hi I’m a disabled trans person attempting to escape an incredibly abusive relationship. They took advantage of my mental and physical health to keep me dependent on them for more than ten years. They coerced me into have children with them by threatening my safety and my relationship with my oldest child. Every friend I had from childhood and ones I tried making they pushed away. Without me knowing they stopped paying bills and we were evicted and became homeless.


At this point their family had taken us in and they lost their job. Our prospects were grim here, unknown to me they refused to take work they deemed below them. So they asked my family to let us stay and they did. Unaware I would stay as no job was ever good enough and they would quit every few weeks, wearing my families patience thin. When they decided we were going to be polyamorous they abandoned us and their job at the time for their other partner for months with no income or ability to get resources. No longer manage things by myself, and the children were beginning to be impacted negatively. I reached out to their family for help who gladly took us back in, but insisted they stayed as well. My family decided they were done with us and destroyed a lot of our things. I no longer had anyone out side of them and their family.


by this point I was trying to patch up our relationship the best I could. I loved them, I believed them, and they always had an excuse or a way to blame me. I would fall for it time and time again, until I learned about all the lies they had told me. Confronting them and trying to defend myself would lead to verbal abuse, not even a shred of remorse.


That brings us up to now. The kids are better supported by their family than I could ever. I need to leave to preserve myself and get the help I need to get better and gain some semblance of independence. I have an amazing girlfriend who is working so hard but is struggling to save up between her current bills and having to dip into savings to pay for unexpected expenses including car repairs. She’s helping me get my own income but it will take time that I may no longer have as the looming threat of their families intolerance and being kicked out.


This amount will cover her gas to come get me. A place for us to sleep so she’s not tired driving for far longer than anyone can safely drive. The down payment and first rent on a small apartment to get us established and hopefully enough for some basic home necessities we both lack.
