I need help. And it's humiliating and degrading and so shameful to come on here like this in desperation, begging. I need help. I need help. I need. I need money to pay to live on my own. I need money to pay for childcare. I need money to pay for my cancer treatment. I need money to just be able to get space from this hell of a home. Home. I need help. As soon as I get any bit of PE and freedom, even if it just lasts a small, small short while, you know, who has to come in and fucking sabotage it. Okay? I need help. I am begging. I am so sorry. I'm so sorry to be begging for help. I've exhausted all options. I've exhausted legal help. I've exhausted therapeutic help. I've exhausted social help. I've exhausted it all. There is no help for people and women and children in positions like mine and my daughters. The. The system. Society allows men to abuse us. I need help. I need help. I need help. I need help. I need. I need help. I need help. I need help.

It's shameful to be at this rank after 5 years. I need help with aim, I need help with rotations... I've exhausted aim trainers and pro guides.'
