Safety

I am safe, for now. The abuser doesn’t have a key to the house, unless someone else gives her one. They know I am moving out and just trying to get someone to move my things into a storage facility.

My brother didn’t decide on that until after four pm, where businesses stop working. I got interrupted in that process for three hours with abusive and dysfunctional family members of my roommate who came here and called the cops on me. She doesn’t live here and has no legal rights.She told the officer that I wanted the cops. I said no I did not. I told her to leave me alone and stop harassing me or I would call the cops. So I told him the stuff about getting assaulted, about moving, about getting interuppted and how they are making it take a lot longer because her mother came here shouting at me and using the phone for hours. Asked him to make them back off so I can move.

So I have to wait until tomorrow morning to call and ask about storage with a company that I spoke to about that as an option today. It would be great to get it done as soon as possible so that I can make other plans to get a plane ticket or a bus ticket out of here. Until I get that I can go to the homeless shelter and stay there. The issue is finding someone to give me a ride to the town where the homeless shelter is.

I called legal aid. They can’t do anything for me unless they try to remove my property or serve me with an eviction notice. So that is that. I called the battered women’s shelter who told me that they can’t help me because I got physically assaulted by someone who I was not in a sexual relationship with, past or present. So that is that.

I can go to the homeless shelter and stay until my next check comes, but I don’t have anyone to give me a ride there. I asked a couple of neighbors. It is possible, but it depends on the time and the day, so that is still waiting on finding out about moving my stuff into storage and how much and will my brother pay for it. So that is that until tomorrow morning and I can call and try to get a date and time set up for them to load my stuff up and take it away.

My brother is offering me a room at a house he is renting in California. I have no other offers. I have no one else to help me. So that is that.

I am dealing with a lot of pain and health issues due to the assault. I hope that gets better quickly. I am working on that. So that is that.

So I am safe, for the time being.
