Feeling Trapped and Looking for a Way Out

I grew up in a very abusive household, constant screaming, yelling and domestic violence. I was never supported or encouraged, and was always made to feel like I’d never achieve anything.

When I was 18, I met the love of my life. He completely changed my world, we travelled, he supported me financially while I found my footing, and he genuinely built me up and believed in me.

After he passed away, everything fell apart. I was suddenly facing homelessness. My mum offered to move in to “help,” and I agreed because I was desperate at the time. Unfortunately, the abuse has continued and I now feel completely trapped at 26.

I’m trying to find ways to make enough money to break my lease, move interstate, and finally cut ties with my family so I can have peace and start over.

Any advice, resources, or support would mean a lot.
