Just cross-posting this from FA.
Hey, we need help getting out of here ASAP. My husband's ma just pulled a knife on him. I don't know what to do. We can't call the police because his sister will side with whatever their ma says and Austin will most likely end up arrested. All of this because I asked his dad (the reasonable adult) if there was any possible way we could keep Tiny. She saw this as manipulative. I woke up this morning to her calling me a whiny little bitch and she's been yelling at me through the door. She said that I've "won over everyone in her family" and she keeps playing the victim. She's slamming doors and is screaming. She also just screamed a real loud "fuck you" at me through the door. This isn't a safe place for us anymore. We need help getting out.
I'm shaking. She's basically turned all of her other children against us. She's talked shit about me non-stop to anyone who will listen. She's in the living room crying because she "doesn't know what she did to me". Apparently all I do is take, take, take. Me moving in? Taking. Me getting a hamster for my birthday that she 1) doesn't see and 2) doesn't have to clean up after? That's me taking again. Wanting to keep Tiny as an emotional support animal because of how isolated I feel living in this apartment? Taking. Nevermind me helping around the apartment with cleaning and helping them financially whenever they ask. She doesn't have to wash our dishes, do our laundry, or anything. I make sure to clean up after ourselves once we're done cooking and once we're done eating. If I'm awake during a cleaning day then I help clean the bathroom.
I've kept a list of everything she's done or said towards me. But she's too narcissistic to actually think she's done anything wrong. I'm now labeled as the "little victim" which is really, really ironic.
I can't face her or talk to her without crying and shaking. I'm shaking as I'm typing this. She doesn't care at all that her actions give me flashbacks. She has never cared. Although she's said and done awful things towards me, I still feel awful for her. I can hear her crying through our bedroom door and I honestly want to hug her and tell her she just needs to breathe. Take a step back and breathe. It's sad that I care about a person that has been horrid towards me. However, it's very clear that we're not welcome here. We pay half of the rent and we own most of the furniture (they haven't paid us back the 1'300 they owe us). So, we need to raise money to move. We'll have a car and probably will have to rent a Uhaul, but we'll make this work.
I'm basing all of my math around what rent is here in California, so the numbers may vary depending on where we go and what state we end up in. But I've figured ~$3390 is what I'll need in my savings. I'm offering commissions to try and make the money needed. We just need to get out of here. If you can't help us with money, please help us by boosting.

https://www.paypal.com/paypalme2/toast435 Please let me know if you boost this. I will draw something for you.Edit: We're shooting for Utah, it'd be affordable for us. I have family there that can help us financially and help us get jobs and we've found a few different places to choose from.
Edit 2: 1/8/2020 - we have to replace our food, shower supplies, toiletries, and get cat food for our kitten as they've thrown out everything and hidden the toilet paper.
Edit 3: 1/11/2020 - they've taken my cat and given her away to a lady far from us. Work may be slow because I'm struggling to cope.
Edit 4: 1/16/2020 - Someone asked for an update so I'll add what's happened so far. I've sent in e-mails to ~5 apartments in Utah that would be close to where my husband can transfer (he's doing a job transfer so he'll hopefully have a job). If the job transfer doesn't work my father said that he can hook him up with a high-pay construction job. However, my father and step-mother aren't willing to help us financially despite knowing the full situation and my mother is unable to help us financially but will be asking that side of the family for any monetary help. My goal is to have ~$1'000 saved before the end of January for the move. Our move out day at the earliest (at least what we're hoping for) is early March but at the latest would be late April. His parents are no longer letting us pay rent for the apartment so we'll be able to save up faster. However, they've claimed that we'll need to pay for any "damages" in the room when we've moved out. Which is literally just nails in the wall that we can easily cover up for like ~$10 with some wall covering goop from a construction store(?) like a depot. Home depot? I don't know what those stores are called. As of right now, this is day ~3 of my manic episode and it's in full swing. I'm struggling to remember things, I'm trying to do too much all at once and it's wearing me down thin. Not to mention I haven't been able to sleep due to the mania. So my brain is very much fried. I will continue to do my best to keep this master post updated. I'm just unsure what all needs to be shared. It's actually causing me to panic a bit. That's it for now. If any other major changes happen I'll be sure to keep the post updated. I'll also update the moving funds each time any money is added.
Edit 5: 1/18/2020 Donating $10 will get you a messy chibi like the one up above. Please just let me know if you've donated. For every money goal met (listed on the post) I'll be hosting a freebie raffle to celebrate us getting a step closer to our new life away from toxicity.
Moving Funds: $739.98 / $3525
