**Only reposting as original was deleted off Facebook before I could read responses of support and advice**
IM’s. I’ve hit rock bottom.
I don’t know how to get my head above water and I guess I need A place to reach out and ask for advice/A vent.
Backstory:
12 years DV. 2 children aged 10 & 12. Both sexually abused and raped over a 5 year period by their father.
Kids and I Spent 3 years in court system with trials and investigations. He escaped jail. Served nothing. Meanwhile my children get a life sentence of PTSD, nightmares, flashbacks, daily meltdowns, triggered over smells and shops and names.
I’ve lost my job due to the care needs of the children and their mental health being very unstable.
Youngest has Autism diagnosis aswell as the PTSD.
Finances are rock bottom. Struggling to make do with the fallout from relocating to get away from abuser, losing job, living on Centrelink, and kids medical costs.
I don’t know how to go forward. There’s only so many times one can go to a food bank and Lifeline. Have a $50 a week grocery budget. What’s your cheap go to meals that can be frozen and reheated?
Sorry for the vent/long post. I’m not even sure what I’m asking. I guess just advice on how to go forward and be positive?

This went to the main Facebook page a little while ago, did you miss all the amazing supporting advise and offers to help or do you need more support hun?
If you go down to 13 days ago your original post is still up with 28 comments and maybe see if you can find the post that went to Facebook.
It takes on average 7 days for a post to hit the main Facebook page so you may have missed all the beautiful replies.
Hi! Yes I was originally following the post on Facebook, but I didn’t get a chance to read through the replies of support properly as I had it saved, and the post was deleted the following day. I’m not sure why it was deleted but I am unable to find it. I have messaged Admin but have not had a reply yet.
Yeah I’ve had a look to and haven’t been able to find it. Such a shame, some fantastic suggestions and offers for support!!
Maybe edit your post and pop in your location (roughly of course) if I recall lots of mummas wanting to help you and your beautiful children though this hard time!
I too would love to help and if you’re anywhere near Brisbane area let me know :)
Thankyou so so much for that. I’m about an hour North of Brisbane. I’ll edit the post now.
Thanks again
Theres a budget recipes post near the top of the page. Maybe look there for ideas. No idea where your post has gone.
