Hello, my name is Raven, and I am 18 years old. I currently live with my mother and stepfather.

My mother is an alcoholic, has been previously physically abusive, and is emotionally and mentally manipulative and abusive. When I moved out the first time, she used my mental instabilities to get me to move back home. She currently has me paying an exorbitant amount of money to stay in her home, in a literal storage room, half of which has no roof over it. In addition to my “rent”, she often decides to ask me for money, and threaten to kick me out if i do not or cannot pay it. She has also threatened to kick me out for legitimately being sick and calling into work. She often screams and manipulates me during breakdowns, sending me out into the streets for a night.

My stepdad is also abusive, and guilts me for my mental illnesses, undermines my body image, and criticizes all relationships I have, including friendships. 

I have been shut down many times when bringing up the topic of moving out, often resulting in them taking money from me to ensure that I cannot leave. I have been depressed and suicidal for many years in this home, and I cannot believe that I am back, and stuck again.

I currently work a minimum wage job 40 hours a week, and do not attend school. 

My partner of 6 months will be moving out of her apartment at the end of the year.  After some discussion, we have decided that moving in together would be the best course of action. We have a place in mind, and a plan for when to move. However, I have very little money or opportunity to save, and she and I will be living across the country from my current place. 

I need money for the move itself, as well as any deposits that need to be made, food, clothing, first few months of rent, and any furniture I may need, as I have very few belongings. (food and clothing are minimally available at home as it is.) 

I have set up a gofundme donations fund for this purpose. I will also be donating money to this fund where I can, as to boost your confidence in me, as well as make that money inaccessible to my parents, who currently have access to my checking account. This will not be an all-or-nothing campaign, so I have set the goal to a higher amount. However, all donations will be used to help me get out of this place. 

Here is the link to the fund. Any amount is appreciated, even $1. If you cannot donate, please reblog and signal boost. Any help is appreciated.

(tldr; I am in an abusive home and need money to take the only opportunity I have to leave at the end of the year)
