Please help me escape my abusive relationship for good
If you’ve been following me for a while, you more than likely know what’s going on, but for those who don’t know: I’ve been in an extremely toxic, abusive relationship for the past 6 ½ years with my son’s father. We have a 3 year old together. While I did leave him last year, I (stupidly) came back in March under the promises of “things would change” etc etc. He has been emotionally, verbally, physically, sexually, and financially abusive. I am cooperating with the state in applying for all kinds of state assistance I am eligible for. I have an apartment and have our most basic needs covered. I need help with covering rent at the end of the month as I can’t do it by myself (my rent is $936), I have no consistent means of transportation (there is no bus/public transit in the city I live in) and I really realllyyy don’t want to have to allow my abuser into my home just to help cover these bills. I can manage on my own, but I need help getting on my feet and establishing my independence in the time being.
Any resources, encouraging words (I have virtually no support system), or other help is so much appreciated.
My PayPal is c.newago@yahoo.com, or PayPal.me/bizaanideewin
Please please don’t send anon hate or criticism, I cannot stress how hard I am struggling with my own guilt and self-blaming right now

BOOOOOOST
Bringing this back, with an update: I wasn’t able to survive on my own so I had to let him in. Lo and behold the abuse continues. Today he punched a hole in the bedroom door. My dad is going to cosign for a new apartment for me back in my hometown, as long as I cover the costs he is going to help me move. I’ve already got a rental application submitted. I’m done I’m leaving I’m OUT. I have tangible proof and I can break the lease without repercussions through the domestic violence clause in the lease.
I just need help with the intial moving costs and initial housing costs- the apartment I applied for is $645 a month, security deposit same amount. First months rent and security deposit due at lease signing. Moving costs are around $400 (it’s a 300 mile move so it gets expensive fast)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REBLOG
I’m almost 15% of the way there!! Please boost!
I’ve just had too many people want to assume that I was being malicious, when they didn’t understand what was going on. And I didn’t either, at least half the time
Because I’m apparently still kind of bothered by something that came up earlier, one thing I didn’t want to go into–because other people’s privacy–but all of it has come up before:
He pulls the same weird denial/shutting down instead of dealing stuff on himself. Including very specifically with medical issues.
This is someone who tried to convince himself that a cracked tooth might have healed itself, rather than go and see about it. He spent time on a burn unit when he was maybe 4, and needed painful surgeries afterwards. I don’t know that he has ever voluntarily seen a doctor or dentist in a non-emergency situation, other than one required physical for a visa application, as an adult. Who is now 46 years old. I know of literally two times he has seen a doctor.
It doesn’t make me happy, but I know better than to push and nag, no better than I like that behavior. He shows enough respect not to do that to me either, and I appreciate it with my own trauma there.
He also basically shuts down in any kind of situation like that–but will go along as moral support anyway if I need it. And try hard to cover up how much he’d rather be literally anywhere else. It doesn’t work that well.
Some inconvenient overlap of difficulties in this area, to put it mildly. It’s not great.
It’s also not the type of situation it might look like, based on limited information about what’s even going on.
There are a number of things like that. This particular bit of disability clash has made things harder for a while, though.
Don’t invalidate people’s struggles because you’ve been through worse. If someone is tired after working for 5 hours and you worked for 7, it doesn’t mean that they’re not allowed to be tired. It doesn’t mean they can’t feel what they’re feeling just because you’ve had it worse.
can’t stress this enough
I think I’ve crashed from the adrenaline bullshit enough to get some sleep soon.
In slightly better news, I’m hoping to finally get out later to one local fish store, and try to bring home some more cory cats to keep the existing ones company. After they get out of quarantine, at least.
The bedroom tank should be good to go for that, after a water change and adding a heater earlier. Just need to put some more biomedia in the filter, to handle the fish load. It’s plants and snails only right now, so I don’t trust the filter to keep up without that. Better not to do that much in advance, though.
I did consider earlier that maybe I should hold off on getting more corys (or fish at all), after that bit of news. But, these really do need the company, and they’ve already had to wait too long. Whatever may end up happening there, it won’t be soon. And I can deal with it then.
Trump asked Sessions about closing case against Arpaio, an ally since ‘birtherism’
Presidents can set law enforcement priorities, but they are expected to steer clear of involvement in specific cases to avoid the perception of politicizing the impartial administration of justice.
Trump backed off the Arpaio case after being advised it would be inappropriate, but that he even tried is “beyond the pale,” said Chiraag Bains, a former senior counsel in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
Bains said he believes Trump “has a sense that the chief executive controls everything in the executive branch, including the exercise of criminal power. And that is just not the way the system is set up.”
