I’m feeling very stressed and uncomfortable mentally. Jerome and I need to stop hugging completely. When I go to the store with him, he rushes me, which adds to my unease. It's troubling that I can't leave his home for good with my belongings and find a safe place to stay soon. I'm praying to God for guidance in this desperate situation. The only option I have is to move in with my toxic sister Cora, who lives with my mom. I really don't feel comfortable being around Jerome or staying under his roof. I lack an income and transportation, and I’m currently in the disability process with a law firm. I need God to show me a solution regarding where I can stay, how to get there, and what support programs might be available to help me. I’m in desperate need of a safe place and clarity on how God wants me to distance myself from this man. I hope for an opportunity to quickly find a new, safe, and healthy environment.

When I go back to my sister's apartment, I often end up spending a long time in the bathroom at night because of my overactive bladder. Sharing the bathroom with my sister means that either she or my mom could be occupying it. In our previous apartment, my mom frequently had low blood sugar, which made daily activities challenging for everyone at home. We often find ourselves waiting too long for one another to finish in the bathroom, and sometimes accidents happen, leaving us unable to use it when we need to. My sister and I have a strained relationship; neither of us wants the other around. She insists that I wash and rinse water bottles before putting them in the fridge, which feels unreasonable to me. Cora can be quite rude and often rushes me out of the bathroom, fully aware of my bladder issues. When I try to voice my concerns, she threatens to kick me out. These issues have persisted for many years, and my mom has become stressed trying to mediate the constant arguments. To leave Jerome's home permanently, I would have to return to stay with my sister and mom. Both Jerome and my sister are toxic and abusive. While I was working, I was advised to reach out to another family member because of the intense conflicts with Cora. I later sought comfort in Jerome, whom I met as an escape from Cora, but he turned out to be a manipulative, toxic older man. I am currently seeking Section 8 housing assistance or any help I can find, while I work on getting disability benefits, as I haven't had a stable income.

Jerome Penn Sr

I'm praying for salvation for Jerome Penn Sr. God would show him how to love others and treat everyone right. He will stop trying to have physical encounters outside of marriage. I pray for conviction over his heart. God would wash him in the blood of Jesus.

My father called my sister Cora's cell phone, expressing his frustration about my staying at Jerome's house. He was upset to learn about Jerome's unhealthy and inappropriate intentions towards me, as well as my reliance on him financially due to my past job mistakes, my bladder issues affecting my work, and my lack of income. It troubled my father to see me involved in Jerome's life. He understands the confusion and arguments that have arisen at home, with my sister and mother attempting to mediate conflicts between me and Cora, which ultimately led me to continue visiting Jerome and accepting his financial help. My father was furious to find out that I have been entangled in these toxic interactions with Jerome for five long years. He is deeply dissatisfied with the situation. I have been praying earnestly, hoping the Community Service board will help me qualify for housing given my mental health struggles. I need to find the strength and courage to sever all ties with Jerome and seek guidance from God on how to better communicate with my mother. I often ponder what it will be like once I gain independence from my mother, Cora, and Jerome, and whether I should also maintain some distance from my mom due to the stress that arises when Mama Debbie tries to mediate the confusion among us, impacting the peace we all need.

My father's anger towards my sister resonates with me deeply. I already recognize that Jerome is not good for me. My father and I have never had a close relationship, but in this situation, he stepped up as a father should. His reaction highlighted the seriousness of my need to sever ties with Jerome.
