Life Update (Important)

Warning: discussion of domestic violence and venting. It's okay if you don't wish to read on further, I honestly don't mind, and look over this post.

I know I shouldn't use the internet to unload personal things about myself, because of foul individuals who might take advantage of that, but I really just want to vent so badly.

Unfortunately, I have been displaced from the apartment I was living temporarily here in California, due to domestic violence. It was mainly between my mother and father, but this affects the whole family, you know. It is no longer safe to be around my father, so the entire family (being my brother, mother, and pets). It resulted in my father hurting my mother rather badly, which resulted in me calling the police. He is being held in jail at the moment, tomorrow I assume will be a court hearing if I'm correct. As a result, we are now homeless, with no income, since my father was the one who worked in the family.

We are with a friend, thankfully, but we are in the process of looking for affordable housing. With it being California and all, it is quite expensive here. None of my family members drive, our furniture is in storage, so we have no way of moving things. We have roughly $3,000 in the bank, that is specifically being used for this situation. All of this happened yesterday, so it's really chaotic at the moment.

I've cried a whole lot yesterday, shouted and yelled a whole lot, and just overall feeling really depressed. I do have a therapist, so hopefully that'll help with processing everything. To anyone who reads this fully, thank you and I apologize greatly for dumbing my traumas on this blog. We are looking for resources, shelters, restraining orders, and the such at the time being. I greatly appreciate any resources anyone here has. ☮
