Urgent: young mother needs help starting new life after escaping abuser

I am making this post for my best friend, and posting on a new empty blog since protecting her identity from the abusive ex partner is very important. If you need to make sure I am a real person who’s friend is in real need you can personal message me and I can offer plenty of proof once I see that you are not associated with the abuser.

TL;DR strong woman with young baby is getting away from her violent ex, needs funds to live. $ accounts below

My friend had a baby December 2018 and just recently got away from the boyfriend who had been psychologically and mentally abusing her since the start of the relationship while she was a minor and he was in is 20s. Physical and financial abuse started after he moved her out to another state with him, putting 1000+ miles between her and her support system. She has dealt with mental illness most of her life which has been exasperated by repeated abuse and unstable homes. In many ways, she has been disadvantaged by society (as a queer woman, disabled, and working class) and by individuals (dysfunctional family, abusive violent men). Her ability to survive everything she has gone through is incredible, and she deserves a much brighter future and to feel that life is good.

The process of getting and keeping legal protection against the abusive ex is already underway, and she is working closely with crisis centers and victim services. After her safety is ensured, the custody battle to keep her baby and protect the baby from him will start. There is no way to do this pro bono but she will try to get reduced rates and as much family/friend help as possible. We all know the American judicial system is seriously unfair, and without money and/or privilege the chances of justice for people is slim. A quality custody attorney will increase those chances.

She has been unable to work since her physical condition declined in the 6th month of pregnancy, but will find employment and child care as soon as possible (within the week). Even with a steady paycheck, she will need as much help as possible with food, housing, medical care, supplies (diapers, a pair of shoes), and buses to crisis centers/courthouse/and work. She is committed to doing everything possible to become self sufficient and start healing from the last couple years.

If you choose to donate know that it is sooo so appreciated by me, my friend (the sweetest person I know), and everyone who loves her. You will be making a significant and measurable difference in this difficult time in a woman’s life, even if what you can afford is only $1, $5, $10 or a reblog.

Hey y’all, I can vouch this is legit. I’m very close to the person helping the abused and they are really trying to escape this awful situation. If you can’t donate, please reblog for awareness. There’s real and unfortunate suffering still happening to women by abusive men all the time. No one deserves this.

i was looking at old photos and i wanted to show you how our story went, a little

bronwyn and i met at age 12 but i dont have any photos from then, really, but this is from grade 9 science class when we were being goofs and i was 13

this is from our first ever sleepover, we couldn’t stop laughing and we were sleeping on a mattress on the floor and we went to boston pizza and got plastic rings that we both still have (bronwyn kept hers on a necklace after that)

i went to bronwyn’s cottage for the first time in the summer after grade 9

we had our first kiss in grade 10 when i was 14 and were in a weird kind of dating limbo period

then i moved to the states and turned 15 and told bronwyn i was in love with her and we visited every chance we could and she sent me flowers and packages

then i went to junior prom with her and bronwyn cut her hair

then we had the most beautiful summer where i spent 5 weeks at her cottage and i cut my hair

then i went back to miami for 12th grade and turned 16 and bronwyn was 17 and we went to senior prom together

then i moved back to canada for university when i was turning 17 and we finally lived in the same place again and we loved each other so much and got breakfast together every day

then after a beautiful summer we started living together when i was 18 and bronwyn was 19 and we went to bahrain together and bronwyn dyed her hair brown and now i get to see her every morning and every night and we adventure in our city and have a coffee shop and love each other more than i could have thought. there were periods of scary intense darkness but we love each other so much and i’ve never been happier. i’ve known bronwyn since i was 12 and now i’m almost 19 and i love her more and more.

i’m never on here anymore, but i wanted to share that almost a month ago bronwyn and i got engaged!! under a beautiful tree on a perfect day and for the rest of my life i get to pursue her and care for her and make her laugh. i’ve said this so many times but now more than ever: if this is all i get, it’s so much more than i could have hoped for.

Hi! I’m Uninspired Fantasy Writer, and here’s my list of races!

Elves who are all blonde-haired and blue-eyed and unquestionably superior to everyone

Shifty Traders from the Desert with a weird accent

Huge, inherently threatening green-or-black orcs (who are also the only race with dreadlocks but nevermind that)

Incredibly greedy and money-obsessed Dwarves who lost their Homeland or otherwise have large numbers of their race in diaspora

Humans, but all based on Romanticized depictions of European cultures

and my favourite: The Matriarchy that’s pure fucking evil and full of backstabbing!

always be suspicious when someone tries to derail a conversation by talking about people taking ‘advantage’ of a social safety net. brings this to mind:

“Crazy Dion” Diamond at one of his sit-ins as a teenager in Arlington, VA. June 10, 1960

via reddit

kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201

All of those people around him are demons

chemicallywrit

hey guys! here’s some fun things i learned from this article about Dion Diamond:

he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man

he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?

when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times

the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)

he’s still alive!

hark, a hero of our times!

As brothers are they joinēd heart to heart;

But Cupid hath not struck them with his bow;

Lest that be thought, they sit five feet apart.

I’ve watched this about 20 times on loop and it’s improved my mood by about 784%!

old people really need to learn how to text accurately to the mood they’re trying to represent like my boss texted me wondering when my semester is over so she can start scheduling me more hours and i was like my finals are done the 15th! And she texts back “Yay for you….” how the fuck am i supposed to interpret that besides passive aggressive

runawaymarbles

Someone needs to do a linguistic study on people over 50 and how they use the ellipsis. It’s FASCINATING. I never know the mood they’re trying to convey.

feynites

I actually thought for a long time that texting just made my mother cranky. But then I watched my sister send her a funny text, and my mother was laughing her ass off. But her actual texted response?

“Ha… right.”

Like, she had actual goddamn tears in her eyes, and that was what she considered an appropriate reply to the joke.I just marvelled for a minute like ‘what the actual hell?’ and eventually asked my mom a few questions. I didn’t want to make her feel defensive or self-conscious or anything, it just kind of blew my mind, and I wanted to know what she was thinking.

Turns out that she’s using the ellipsis the same way I would use a dash, and also to create ‘more space between words’ because it ‘just looks better to her’. Also, that I tend to perceive an ellipsis as an innate ‘downswing’, sort of like the opposite of the upswing you get when you ask a question, but she doesn’t. And that she never uses exclamation marks, because all her teachers basically drilled it into her that exclamation marks were horrible things that made you sound stupid and/or aggressive.

So whereas I might sent a response that looked something like:

“Yay! That sounds great - where are we meeting?”

My mother, whilst meaning the exact same thing, would go:

‘Yay. That sounds great… where are we meeting?”

And when I look at both of those texts, mine reads like ‘happy/approval’ to my eye, whereas my mother’s looks flat. Positive phrasing delivered in a completely flat tone of voice is almost always sarcastic when spoken aloud, so written down, it looks sarcastic or passive-aggressive.

On the reverse, my mother thinks my texts look, in her words, ‘ditzy’ and ‘loud’. She actually expressed confusion, because she knows I write and she thinks that I write well when I’m constructing prose, and she, apparently, could never understand why I ‘wrote like an airhead who never learned proper English’ in all my texts. It led to an interesting discussion on conversational text. Texting and text-based chatting are, relatively, still pretty new, and my mother’s generation by and large didn’t grow up writing things down in real-time conversations. The closest equivalent would be passing notes in class, and that almost never went on for as long as a text conversation might. But letters had been largely supplanted by telephones at that point, so ‘conversational writing’ was not a thing she had to master.

So whereas people around my age or younger tend to text like we’re scripting our own dialogue and need to convey the right intonations, my mom writes her texts like she’s expecting her Eighth grade English teacher to come and mark them in red pen. She has learned that proper punctuation and mistakes are more acceptable, but when she considers putting effort into how she’s writing, it’s always the lines of making it more formal or technically correct, and not along the lines of ‘how would this sound if you said it out loud?’

adora-korra

the linguistics of written languages in quick conversational format will never not be interesting to me like it’s fascinating how we’ve all just silently learned what an ellipsis or exclamation mark implies and it’s totally different in different communities or generations or whatever
