For years, one woman has lived in an environment poisoned by abuse, addiction, and betrayal. Now, as a single mother, she’s fighting for the chance to give her daughter the safe, peaceful home they both deserve.
Her father, controlling and volatile, explodes in anger and projects his frustrations onto her. Her mother, a narcissistic alcoholic with a history of reckless behavior, was allowed to move back in despite her destructive patterns. Ambulances have been called countless times for drunken falls, one leaving her unconscious and bleeding from a head wound. The daughter has stepped in to perform first aid more than once, a responsibility no child should carry for their parent.
But the cruelty doesn’t end there. Years ago, her mother forged her signature with corrupt accountants, leaving her with a massive tax debt that took six painful years to fight. Even now, she is still battling the lasting financial scars of that betrayal.
Living in one room with her own daughter, she pays her way for everything while receiving no handouts. Yet she is constantly targeted, belittled, and gaslighted simply for being the one who dares to speak up against the abuse. Recently diagnosed with Autism Level 1 and ADHD, she is now piecing together years of misdiagnoses and learning that the exhaustion, burnout, and sickness she feels daily are deeply tied to the toxic environment around her.
She is on every housing waitlist possible, fighting through a brutal rental market, but the clock is ticking. The environment is deteriorating her health, crushing her spirit, and threatening her child’s wellbeing.
Her plea is simple, yet heartbreaking: “My daughter deserves peace. I deserve peace. We need a chance to heal and live free from abuse.”
This is not just a fight for housing. It’s a fight for survival, dignity, and the chance to break a generational cycle of pain.
I recorded footage of my father blowing up at me because I told him to watch where he was going after he knocked over my daughter and made her cry. Please help us leave this volatile living situation. I am under every wait list to get a home for us. The rental market is so hard to get into, especially with my current income. This environment is keeping me sick. I can barely eat. My father let my narcisstic, alcoholic mother move in after she got kicked out of her prior accommodation post-rehab, so he moved her in when I was 3 months pregnant. I share a room with my daughter. I pay my way for everything and accept no handouts. My father projects all his frustrations onto me. Most of which have nothing to do with me other than I’m the outspoken daughter who doesn’t tolerate his abuse and is no longer afraid to speak up to him. My mother won’t move out, continues to drink, drink drive, and I’ve had to call her many ambulances from intoxicated falls—one of which she rendered herself unconscious and cracked open her skull. I had to administer first aid to stop the bleeding. She has gotten away with forging my signature and placing a large tax debt in my name back in 2011 with her corrupt accountants, which took me 6 years to get wiped. I’m still dealing with the repercussions of this 15 years later and am trying to get justice at least. I recently got diagnosed with Autism Level 1 and late last year ADHD, which debunked other misdiagnoses such as BPD and OCD. I’m completely unsupported in this environment and constantly burn out. This is a very brief description of a very complex situation and there is so much more to be said. I’m trying so hard to be free from both parents. To live a peaceful life. My daughter deserves that at least. I deserve that. To have the space to heal and to just be. #triggerwarning⚠️⚠️⚠️#domesticviolencesurvivor#domesticabuseawareness#financialabuseawareness#generationaltrauma#mentalhealthmatters#audhd#autismawareness#toxicfamily#narcissisticabuse#cptsd#neurodivergent#healingjourney#singlemom#singlemomsupport#breakingthecycle#emotionalabuse#emotionalabusesurvivor#fyp#foryou#foryoupage#tiktoktruth#storytime#nolongerafraid#freedom
