211

[Angelfox2002]

Has anyone ever called *211 (I think it’s a star?) I’m afraid to try it myself for multiple reasons but anxiety and the fear of not being able to explain my situation are stifling! I could probably google reviews of personal experiences calling this number but my experience with this group is that everyone is very supportive, understanding, and willing to help if they can... that’s the life of the highly sensitive, we love to help everyone but we can’t figure ourselves out! No offense I’m one of them and I know that I’m here for a reason and my journey will be impeccable once I find my way! I really need housing assistance just to help me move and get settled into a home, my current lease expired April 30th and my terroristic ex-boyfriend isn’t signing a new one (narcissistic controlling nonsense!) nor will he evict me. He allows my kids and I to stay here with nothing to eat, a locked thermostat that even I can’t adjust, the bedroom door is locked when he leaves so I recently moved my clothing and most cherished items to the living room. I’m in constant tears and he is relishing in my sadness. He literally uses mental terrorism daily and I’m so depressed I can not believe this is my life, he knows where I came from and what I sacrificed to move in with him but he still complains that I have done nothing for him!!! This man has no self control and the situation has escalated to me getting physically injured because of his rage. My kids are 13 and 16, both boys who defend me occasionally... luckily they don’t usually see or hear his terroristic behavior bc he’s hyper aware of what he presents himself as to others, he must be seen as perfection from his peers. My kids see me crying and know me better than anyone, they know what causes such tears and since I’ve known him, all they see is him living on his high horse, going rogue whenever he wants to and constantly belittling, ignoring and degrading me. I call these Jeckyl Hyde moments. My kids shouldn’t have to argue with a giant adult man who doesn’t do anything to try to be a role model or any semblance of a “step-father”. They can’t to defend the way a woman should be treated to a giant man child!!! We’ve only been together for a little over 2 years but the nightmare won’t end and I don’t have the money to leave yet! Any advice Welcome! I’ve been sleeping on the couch for over 3 months, still paying my half of the bills. Prayers are always welcome! I’m spiritual and will be listening for positive vibes from this post! Thank you for reading 📖

Hi how awful you have to live this way. To be honest I would ring the police and tell them you and your children are in danger and get them to help you leave him. Ok you might end up in a shelter but it's surely got to be better than staying where you are. You and your sons aren't safe so get yourself and them out of there. x

I’m like a broken record of life’s mistakes

You are taking the blame for others behaviour onto yourself. Why? You need to get angry with those who treat you badly as it is their choice and you didn't make them you know. Your ex treats you the way he does because he chooses too, not because of anything you have done or said. You need help so ask for it now. x
