i’ve just had probably the worst year of my life. in march, i was injured by stray bullets (5 to be exact) that entered my bedroom during a gang related dispute. then i was homeless during the summer, and spent way too much time in an anti-gay homeless shelter. i was hurt at my job and had to leave, my mom attempted suicide, my little sister was assaulted by her dad and violated by her dad’s girlfriend…..basically just awful.
my mom was hospitalized diagnosed with bipolar disorder with psychotic symptoms. she’d never sought any treatment and somehow no one noticed. she will be discharged likely on monday, and will return to our shared apartment. but, her living with us is not a good idea at all. her worst symptoms resulted in abuse and neglect throughout my childhood up until now.
i am seeking help to move me and my sister into our own apartment, where we will be safe from both our mom and her dad. Living with my mom has been toxic in the extreme. i have been taking care of my sister for the larger part of this year, and right now i’m the only person she has. my mom has been unstable for a long time, and while my sister’s dad shows up to play the part to ensure that we keep custody, he otherwise doesn’t want anything to do with my sis and has told me that he will not be responsible for her. i truly think that the best place for me and my sister is living with me, separate from both of them, at least until our mom stabilizes. my priority is my sister, and she truly thrives when both of her parents are out of the picture.
i’m eyeing a studio apartment for $450, and I have roughly enough income to qualify for the apartment, with some luck. I need about $500 for the deposit and moving fees. i would really appreciate if anyone reblogs this, i know its an eyesore and no one likes these posts. and if you decide to help, thank you so much.
this is my paypal. my askbox is closed right now, but you can message me anytime if you have questions. thank you so much
