Help Me Out of a Toxic Home

—

Hey everyone. For those of you who don’t know me, my name’s Emmy. For the past year or so, my family has become increasingly verbally, mentally, and psychologically abusive, and at this point I feel like my mental health is worse for wear. They’ve made me feel unwelcome in this home, along with feeling a lack of respect towards me and my mental illnesses, going as far as doing things they’re aware trigger me (i.e. direct yelling) and continuing their behavior even when I’m visibly shaken up, crying, and begging for them to stop.

I had initially created this campaign on GoFundMe, but against my better judgement posted it to Facebook before filtering out family and family friends because I trusted people. Despite saying to not mention things to those I live with as it would put me in an extremely unsafe space and situation, a cousin of mine shared it with my mom and shit automatically hit the fan. My immediate family not only freaked out on me and kicked me out and literally ripped my phone away from me as I was out the door, but my extended family attacked me via the link I had shared to my campaign on my account, accusing me of lying and more or less only seeing me as a spoiled brat who did this because “they didn’t want to work”.

So here I am restarting it, for the sake of my sanity and the preservation of my safety at home.

It’s hard for me to be able to get out at the rate that I’m going now, as I only have one job at the moment and that itself only pays minimum wage- finding a second job has been difficult for me due to extenuating circumstances, and trying to survive at home alone on what I make is hard. On top of that, my hours have been drastically cut in order to makeup for the influx of new people we have hired.

Nearly all of my money goes out to student loans and credit card payments (as I haven’t been able to afford anything at all lately), so I can’t realistically save up and get out of here quickly enough that my mental health will swan dive even further.

That said, I need help. I’m too far in the hole to get out on my own, and I wanna work towards being truly, genuinely happy living outside an abusive home.

If you can only give $1, $5, or $10, it’s appreciated. Any help you give means the world to me. If you can only signal-boost for the time being, that means the world to me too. Please just help me get the word and my story out there.
