Hello, most of you know me as Tamara Camden Perez and Brown for the past 2 years. I don't normally post my private life, but I'm in need of help and support.

I got married 2 years ago and had NO idea that I would find myself living in a very abusive environment—verbal, mental, and even physical. Last April, after tearing up the house, breaking things, glass everywhere, he tackled me, falling on top of me, knowing I had issues with my back and I already have 2 artificial discs in my neck. I couldn't walk when I got up and suffered excruciating pain. I suffered for 6 months and was told only surgery would help, so I had MAJOR back surgery in October. My recovery isn't going well. I'm in the 8% of people that get drop foot, so I'm still unable to walk without a walker. I also ended up with a pinched nerve and spent the first 5 weeks crying all night with nerve pain that ran from my back into my hip and down my leg into my foot with no relief from meds.

I knew I needed to leave this marriage before the surgery, but I also knew I didn't have a place to recover while out of work for 6 months with no funds. I never in a million years thought he would abuse me in my condition, but he did, and it's only escalating each time his INTERMITTENT EXPLOSIVE DISORDER erupts. I'm asking for donations so that I can find housing and a SAFE place to recover. I have medical bills piling up, maxed out credit cards, and no way to even pay for medical premiums to continue care, and I'm told I will need another surgery. I have no idea when I'm going back to work or how to get myself out of this environment, pay bills, or start over without asking for help. I truly appreciate any amount you are able to give. I'm also asking for prayers and that you share this with others. Thank you in advance for helping me through the ROUGHEST AND LOWEST time in my life. God bless you.
