20yo indigenous woman, her mother has been in & out of jail for the last 10 years & since the age of 11 has lived with her alcoholic grandmother, who verbally abused her. She entered into a relationship with a 23 yo man & started living with him on the mid north coast. She was not working & relying on him for food, clothing & shelter. He was in control of everything financial & was exerting coercive control, physically did not allow her to leave the home & threatened her with violence (knives). Her mother was recently released from jail and she has come back to Sydney to live with her. She left the mid north coast with nothing other than the clothes on her back. She is suffering from serious anxiety as she knows her former partner knows where her mother lives & cannot leave the house as she is afraid that he will turn up. Her mother is reintegrating into society and completing a drug course. Any support we can offer this brave young lady will be greatly appreciated.
