After 12 years of marriage, I realised I was living with a narcissist... humiliation, beatings – I don’t even need to go into detail – psychological abuse... I put up with it all. I left my home – or rather, I was thrown out of my home – to fulfil someone else’s dream... if you can call it that. We bought a house; I have two beautiful children and pets. Then, one day, his true colours came out – the side I hadn’t wanted to see all those years. For everything I’d sacrificed... I don’t see the pets anymore; for a while, I ended up on the street after being thrown out of our house and had to sleep in the car in winter. I saw the children very little. I was at rock bottom. I didn’t want to be here and believe that things would get better. Then people helped me find a flat (very expensive), but I couldn’t be choosy; I had to take what was available and build a home for the children from scratch so that I could have them with me. I’d like to start afresh, draw a line under the past, have the children with me, a home as it should be, and not go without food for myself, the pets or the children – they’ve never been neglected; they always come first. But just that feeling… of course I work, but it’s not enough to cover everything… my ex took everything from me and gave me nothing back; I was left with nothing but debts…I’d like to ask anyone—even if they only have a spare crown—to help; every little bit counts... I don’t know if anything will be raised—maybe yes, maybe no. The funds will, of course, be used to support the children, the pets, and to help me get back on my feet. The children could go on trips with me that I can’t afford to treat them to right now...🪷 I thank you from the bottom of my heart for every single crown.
