Hi im a single mom of two. One of my children is special needs.This is so embarrassing for me ive never done this before this is just so humiliating! we got out of a domestic violence situation yes it was shelter for us but my son and daughter were at there breaking points every time he beat me senseless and made them watch he knew we had no ware to go he knew we had no family. Yes i shut my mouth and took the beatings i didn’t want to be on the streets with my kids. I finally got the courage to stand up to him when he took his belt off and made me stand in the corner and started hitting me with it. It felt like a whip all over my body i knew to keep quiet i didn’t want the kids to hear what was going on in the front room he took his size 13 boots off and started beating me with them for not leaving strait vacuum lines on the carpet i held it all in and let the screams out in my mind he dragged my son out of bed and again made him watch this is so difficult to talk about but i could see all the mental damage it was doing to them in there eyes!!! All my son could do was scream for him to stop. My daughter woke up from all the commotion she jumped on top of me hoping she would take some of his hits instead of me thats where I drew the line!!! police were called that night and for the first time in my life i actually stood up for myself i don’t ever want to put my kids in a situation where they feel forced to physically defend me 🥺 its my job to protect them not the other way around in the end We found are selves in a shelter it was just as hard on them they didn’t say a word but im there mother i could see the pain in there eyes it broke me in pieces. I did what I had to and managed to get us in a one bedroom house Were finally free to feel safe to call it are own to go to the bathroom when we want my kids are free to open the fridge when they want i can see the weight lifted off of them But guys please try to understand Im only one person starting from absolutely nothing!!! with a family. Im in a financial crisis I have no money for anything between trying to keep a roof over are heads let alone bills were always low on groceries im so stretched thin I don’t know how i can possibly make it through the holidays this year between loosing everything including my father passing away and making a safe environment for the kids im financially drowning life has been extremely difficult.
