Thank you for the post, AShadow. You might consider going to your state's government website to find the number for information. Ask to be directed to a person who you can talk to about assistance that may be available to you, like food stamps, housing assistance, mental health issues, etc.

You might also try here to see if these organizations may direct you to help:

I hope you are able to get help for yourself and your child. Getting professional help is so important to ameliorate the traumas you have experienced.

Good luck.
