Moving with daughter from abusive husband
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Barbara. I have a daughter who is 14 years old. We are planning to move away from my husband and then file for divorce. My husband is narcissistic, abusive, and controlling. I have a decent job and make decent money but cannot afford to save. I basically still live paycheck to paycheck, making it difficult to collect the amount of money I need for an actual move. Because I'm trying to do this without him knowing specifically when I plan on leaving (he doesn't really believe im going to leave), I'm leaving all furniture except for the few things of my daughters and necessities, so we're going to need at least minimal furniture and household supplies. We need first and last month's rent, and we also would have to pay a substantial pet deposit because we have pets that are part of our family and have been a huge help to my daughter's mental health. It's becoming fairly urgent that we leave soon, as living in the same household as my husband is having a detrimental effect on my daughter's mental health... she struggles with severe anxiety and OCD, and while she is in intensive therapy, her self harming has increased drastically with the stress. Also, he's becoming more and more unstable as time passes and our relationship further deteriorates.
We have no family in this area whatsoever, so it's really difficult for me to try come up with this amount of money without anyone to help me. Any amount would be greatly appreciated to help us start a new life.
Thank you so much.
