Hello My name is Leah. I am a hot mess; I was in a toxic relationship where January 2023 my boyfriend at the time hit me and broke my neck. My life will never be the same. I never knew what i did for him to act out with so much hatred towards me. The violence seem to have came out of nowhere. I caught him with another woman so I calmy went to his parents (where we Have been staying) I gathered my things and my son and i loaded as much as i could fit in my mustang convertible it wasn’t much thank god. He didn’t notice I was gone till 3 in the morning . I didnt know where i could go so i went to my job site. when i heard a knock on the door i knew exactly who it was. i went to answer it but something stopped me and told me to get something to protect myself so i did. i grabbed a knife i opened the door for no one to be there. I take a step into the dark nightwith my arm fully extended out and this knife pointed directly infront of me. scared half to death not knowing what is going to happen. i peered around the corner of the house to see him just standing by my car. i yelled at my daughter to go inside as he fastly approached me and got right in my face. My daughter now screaming bloody murder cause she knows what he has done before. He kept asking me ” you broke into my parents home”? Thats obsurd i didnt cause any damage to anything I got my clothes and left everything else. I told him to get back as im trying to get my daughtr back inside. He blurtrd out “I will lay yu out just like i did your momma” I held the knife so tightly as i demanded him not to take another step closer, I seen his pupils change as i knew i had to protect my daughter and myself. I pulled the knife out of the side of his body ran to the door and slammed it shut before i could lock it he was trying to break it down. I told my daughter to call 911 but she couldn’t do anything but scream i couldn’t hold the door back any longer I grabbed the phone from my daughter’s hand for it all to be over. I talked to the 911 lady explained what happened andI needed the cops. I smoked a cig not knowing if it would be my last .I spent 4 long freezing hours at the police station being questioned about the details of what just happened tonight. When the detective came into the room he calmly asked so what happened tonight, I replied in order for you to understand my actions tonight I have to go back TO January. i told him of all the abuse and violence i had suffered I was not acting out in hate or rage i was simply protecting my daughter. the whole thing felt like i was in a dream like an out of body experience. I am now homeless, and my mom is too (she was renting a room from his sister) She was asked to vacate the premises due to conflict of interest and awkward. My life is so messed up now. I need a lot of help I need a place to call home and i need dental work badly. am in pain daily and now struggle to work day to day. I trigger migraines weekly. I can’t do what I use to do to provide for my family. I do home renovations but am forced to find different work. When I heard about this website I was going to create an account to ask for help with my dental, my teeth are progressively getting worse. I go through a couple tubes of ambosol a day the pain is debilitating and agonizing. Im not sure what exactly needs to be done but my teeth are decaying and i think i might have an infection i now am having pain in the middle of the night when I am asleep. anything helps $LeahNNead Cash app tag
