Hello everyone, my name is Retha, and I am reaching out for help for myself, my 6 year old daughter, and my current unborn child. I have been stuck in an abusive relationship/marriage with a combat veteran for the past 7 years. He was arrested recently for violating a no contact order put in place through court.

There is so much that has happened to me, and in the presence of our daughter. My ex has cut up all of my clothes, threw away my belongings and stripped me from my vehicle that I no longer have. He has verbally, physically and sexually assaulted me, which most of the assaults happened in front of our daughter.

Recently my pleas and prayers were answered when police came and arrested him finally for violating his probation. He is currently still incarserated, but I am terrified that he'll get out and show up to retaliate as he's made promises to, and has done before. I'm reaching out for help because my daughter and I are stranded without any family or friends around. I am praying that someone hears our prayers, and can help us get transportation considering that's our biggest need at the moment.

There is a court date coming up for his violation hearing and I need to get the evidence to the Prossecuting attorney to have him properly sentenced. Its an hour and a half drive to the courthouse where his hearing is being held. I would love to get back to working and starting a fresh life with my daughter and this unborn baby. Its extremely hard to walk everywhere, as I am currently 24 weeks pregnant.

My daughter and I were left with nothing but ourselves to survive. I pray for someone to hear us and help get us back on track. I have lost all my friends and family through this toxic spiral with him. I'm reaching out on here as a last resort. I do appreciate anyone who took the time to read all of this. I will happily answer any questions, and keep this post updated with any extra info. Thank you to those that's read part of mine and my daughters years of chaos we've endured. I have never done this as far as speaking out on a donation site and pray we get a chance to have mobility and stability again before the baby is born. I hope you all have a blessed day.
