2 weeks after I paid off the gang, Alex and I went back to court for our last time, I knew we wouldn't be able to get custody of our son and daughter and when I heard the judge confirm it my ex went ballistic and was told to leave the courtroom. While he was out I made arrangements to keep my son and daughter in my life and that would mean letting my parents raise them which also meant that I could never move back in with my parents but I was okay with that. After Alex calmed down he was able to return to the courtroom and the judge told him about the agreement and my mom said we could visit anytime we wanted. Alex got pissed off at me because I made the arrangements without him and he slapped me across the face in frustration after that Alex wasn't allowed to see his children unless I was there with him.

When we got home from the courtroom he yelled at me and that's when I decided enough was enough, I broke up with him right there because I had to stay with him for the trials and now that they ended I had no reason to stay or deal with his abuse and controlling and of course he called his mom after that and I told her I had enough and then the both of them kicked me out of the house. (All of my stuff is still there to do this day)

After that I was homeless and I wasn't allowed to grab any of my belongings unless I was alone. I lived in a homeless shelter for two weeks, some of the men in the shelter managed to sneak into the women's ward because of that I got raped a few nights by strangers. 

When I left the homeless shelter I ran into one of the gang members that my ex was in debt to and he was a bit confused about why I was in the homeless shelter so I explained what happened. He understood and told me to go back to the hideout with him to figure out my living arrangements, I agreed as the shelters we're getting full and harder to get into for the night. The person escorting me talked with the leader about what happened to me and he told me I could live rent and utility free as long as I served they're needs I agreed since I had no where else to go.
