The short story
Abusive mother forced me to suddenly flee and move across states after defending my girlfriend over my moms BS. We escaped my house on a flight back and now live with my girlfriend's family in their apartment. I wish to help around with some of the added expenses of having a new person live with them while continuing to animate my series.
Interested to hear more about the story? Here’s the long version
A lot just happened to me (20) in the span of a single day. I was forced to suddenly move states, with the choice being either to stay with my verbally abusive (not to mention homophobic, transphobic, and racist) mother or get kicked out and leave behind everything to live with my girlfriend and her parents. Clearly I had to choose who really mattered to me. While my mother was away from the house I snuck in and managed to grab my computer and drawing tablet that contained all my animation work, but there are so many other things that got left behind. I want to support her parents with their finances, but obviously am now going to be in a financial struggle myself. Some backstory is that I had quit my job a few months back after saving up for over a year in the hopes that I could animate for a living on YouTube. Ever since the Confinement drama, I had felt really inspired to pick back up on making an SCP series of my own. For those past months I had been relentlessly working on researching SCP entries and lore, planning out the plot of the series, slowly finding helpers and a small team, and just trying to give my show a great artstyle. My mother has never been supportive of me as an artist, along with that she is often very negligent and says incredibly harmful things about me. She drinks to the point of being intoxicated nearly every day and is bipolar yet refuses to get any help in either of her situations. My mom already had some issues with my girlfriend and her parents in the past, there was always a reason why she wouldn’t trust them. I was in a long distance (1 state difference) relationship with my girlfriend for the past year, we had just celebrated our 1 year anniversary in the past week with her visiting me. My mother used the excuse of long distance to create conspiracy theories with no basis. The first thing she did was assume that my girlfriend's mother and stepdad must be serial killers / sex traffickers (clearly makes a lot of sense), and that my girlfriend was the bait. Which doesn’t even make sense and would be very convoluted considering I knew my girlfriend's identity and had talked with her mom before, there was simply a lot of proof that she was living in a normal family. And if my girlfriend had been in trouble she would have told me. On a trip to my girlfriend’s state to visit her family, my mom discovered that my girlfriend's step dad is trans, which brought out all of her transphobia and homophobia. She would tell me how the stepdad would “go crazy” someday and shoot up my girlfriend's family. Also because with my mothers logic, that made my girlfriend's mom a lesbian. Back in May I made a visit to my girlfriend's place alone. I would text my parents daily but on the second to last night something different happened. This is all because I hadn’t contacted my parents for literally less than a day. Me and my gf were chilling watching Attack on Titan when suddenly my girlfriend received a call on her phone. It was from a random number and we joked it might be my mom, plot twist it actually was my mom. I picked up the phone and put it on speaker, and my mom was on the line. I said hello and she said in a very aggressive sarcastic voice “Hello? Just hello?!”, she then proceeds to talk about how I haven’t messaged her all day and how something could have happened to me (I’m an adult and it had only been 17 hours), she then proceeded to say that my girlfriends parents were both the F slur for no reason. After I came back to my home, I almost tried to move out because my mom was being very aggressive about my gfs family. I only decided to stay because of my responsibility to my dogs, have a childhood best friend who lived nearby, because my parents handled all my medications for my chronic disease (Ulcerative Colitis), and because ultimately my parents told me they would let me animate and that I could quit my job to focus on my arts. It was all a lie as I said before, my mom never believed in me. I should have just left back then, but I really wanted an opportunity to animate my show. Dealing with my old job and trying to constantly call my girlfriend with the long distance aspect made it hard for me to really ever animate in the past. I just realistically can’t make a show if I have to work, people would lose interest with all the extra time it would take to produce something. Since I work as a solo animator, I don’t have anyone else to work on animating the show either (plus it's hard to find someone who could match my art and also be trusted). Now that I live in my girlfriend's apartment though, I’m either going to need to find a job (there’s always a chance I may not even find one that hires, plus I couldn’t even grab my SSN or birth certificate) or somehow find a way to make money animating. I didn’t want to resort to asking for help, but I really don’t want to give up on my dreams. Animating is my biggest passion, I have so many plans for the future. So as fellow SCP fans, artists, and media enjoyers, I’m looking for some support. It would mean a lot, and really give me a chance to still accomplish my dreams.
Some of my animation and artwork
My YT channel ItsDanimationz where I planned to upload episodes of my series “Breached”. The Confinement thing is just a parody, and my old 173 video isn’t canon (First animation ever also)
I’ve been learning animation for 3 years now, I didn’t upload much to my channel but I never stopped improving on my artstyle as you would see.

The things I brought with me
That’s mostly it, as well as some of the anniversary gifts my girlfriend got me
