I turned 26 on Friday. I have not had any parents until I found my father in prison last year. Through the grace of God I have made it this far. I was a victim of sexual and physical abuse from my family, mostly my mother. My father was absent and a drug user. Until I was 15, I did not know what was done to me wrong. It took CPS four cases of assault and an arrest of my mother to place me with my father's mother, who then would tell me she could not afford me at 16. Texas law is 17 to live without a guardian and from 16 until 17, I was basically homeless. I could not finish high school. One day I got on my knees to pray, and I was able to leave an apartment full of drug addicts. I stopped doing drugs when I walked into my community college to sign up for classes. I earned my associates.
I now want to be a teacher. I have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression and anxiety. I am going on my third day without sleep. I moved from an unsafe neighborhood 2 months ago. I lived there until I was all most killed one night. I have tried to find the property owner, but found a blueprint of the apartments. I lived there from September 2008 until March 2011. I washed my clothes in my sink, I was too scared to be out past dark.
I now live in a place that is not paid for. The owners showed up after a 3 month delay in rent to collect money. One charity refused me because they do not pay first months rent. I called again to be hung up on. I have called Catholic Charities, Interfaith Ministries, the Salvation Army, and community outreach programs. I do not have a child, I am not married. I am a single women never married or with child trying to make it. I work as a substituting the past two years I have been layed off. I do not have valid registration sticker on my car. I walk. I have already received a warning for it. My doctor supplied me with medication for two months and I am going through a victim's rehabilitation abuse program. My time has ran out.My father is out of prison but worse off. My mother is still on drugs. Please help me. my email is magdelenasky05@yahoo.com and number is 832-425-7988. i stay in houston, texas.I should not be alive but by God's Grace I am. I am old enough to remember these horrible memories that CPS or the law failed to recognize. My half sister was abused too before me. She ran and now she has paranoid schizophrenia, seizures, bi-polar mania. My mother was arrested twice for each of us. How did CPS fail to recognize this woman not to be a fit parent? We lived with drug dealers. Not only did my mother trick the system once but did it again by not only molesting, abusing, and exploiting me, she gets to live consequence free. I have flashbacks of her with guns, knifes, ropes, lighters. help me.
