S.O.S! CRY FOR HELP

Jabulile Mutale 10/25/224:23 AM

Hello everyone.

I'm jabulile Daka, and I run the PACEs Community here is Zambian.

I'm honest at my wit's end right now. I've tried everything in my knowledge to make things work for both my organisation and myself, but nothing is working. I recently asked for a divorce from my husband who has been extremely emotionally neglectful, and even abusive. Now I'm supporting my 3 children on my own, but nothing is working!😩

I have no food in the house, and I've just been evicted from my home and I don't even have money to move.

I'm at a point where I feel like ending it all might be better for my children, somehow. I'm writing to this community because I feel like it's a safe space. I don't have any other safe space to be this vulnerable....

Yesterday was a really bad day. I haven't had suicidal thoughts in YEARS!

Thank you for taking time to speak with me Carey🙏🏼

Thank you so much for your response Carey!

We don't have any resources I know of that help people in my situation. Emotional Neglect is not viewed as a real thing here, yet women are dying silently. Everyone, including my family, blames me for leaving my husband. They feel I should have stayed for the financial support, in spite of how I was treated.

This is why I'm so passionate about this. But I can't do it alone. I really need help. Both financial and emotional. The burden I'm carrying is too big for me alone....

Dear Jabulile,

You and your work are so important. Your recent blog posts on PACEs Connection are helping people. We need you to be a part of this movement.

I don’t know what resources there are in Zambia, but I do know your voice is needed and important.

Carey
