I've been abused since childhood my stepfather would throw me around like a doll and smack me if I cried I was like 6 or 7. My mom left him met my younger siblings father and he commuted suicide. When I was 12 my virginity was taken by rape I was ruffied. My first born son is from a rape when I was 18. I survived an emniotic enboli in 2007 during a c section have lost my children my home everything I own and know I have some extremely big issues with regard to my mental stability. I have also been a chronic meth user since I was 13. I need help I'm homeless and dont know where to start to get help. I live in edmonton ab am unemployed and have a hard time being in public situations. Any suggestions would be great

jaylee123 I hear your awful situation and I want to help but I am a little handicapped by the fact that I live in the US. In Edmonton, is there an agency that you can go to for your most basic needs like food and shelter as your safety is very important. Do you have means to get there or could you find a ride there? Once you get to a homeless shelter you will most probably get assessed so you can go into rehab that your gov't may foot the bill for. Nothing is going to matter until you are in a safe warm place where people can assess your needs to include medication and possibly a hospital stay. This may seem scary but it could be the best thing that has ever happened to you. I wish you safety and only the best. Please get somewhere where you can get help immediately. Although I am glad that you found PC, I wish you a warm welcome but I also hope that you seek some help. Be safe and best of wishes.

Dear jaylee, I am sorry to hear of your experiences with an abusive past. My suggestion would be to get to an ER. They can take you where you need to go from there. Is Edmonton in WA? If so, Seattle has many resources for the homeless. I found shelter there myself once and the system felt very organized, though there were long lines to wait in. I wish you strength.
