I'm (F22) a Bengali, my stepmother is abusing me & my dad who promised to help me out of here is not doing anything to help me.
Hello, I don't know how to start this, honestly it's been a mess. It's been more than 5 months since I told my dad about my serious relationship with my boyfriend, we both dated to marry and we're in a long distance. I've told my dad about stepmother abusing me for 3 years already it's been like that since she married my dad for money and been trying to kick me out. He has seen these things and still refused to leave her out and choose his own child first.
Then my boyfriend explained that we decided to get married together to help me escape this situation, because stepmother is after my life. She won't let me out of my room, won't let my boyfriend send me food or let me do my documents either to go to my boyfriend's parents house.
I've already done and sent most except 1 is my affidavit my dad promised he'd take me out of here no matter what, but he recently just stoppped and gets frustrated with me when I ask him when is he going to help me.
Because stepmother mistreatment is getting worse and sometimes I can't even get up from my sleep due to hunger. My boyfriend did everything from his side and this is illegal to keep me trapped and starved in a room with nothing other than a mattress only.
Her parents backing her criminal behavior trapping me. I've been feeling anxiety and panic attacks lately. I want to leave. I don't understand why she won't let me go. She hates me then why won't she let me go?
I've called 911, got rejected, the police said this is family matter and I told them I'm literally trapped here, not getting fed properly.
My friends tried to help me with the helplines and we asked for their help several times, they always said we should contact the police, when we said the police rejected our statement and not to bother them, the helplines rejected us as well thinking this is some prank because they think the police in Bangladesh wouldn't actually do this, but they did this twice already.
I feel trapped and unable to get help. My boyfriend tried to help but I'm being because stepmother and her family decided I don't deserve to have nothing. I always feel like I'm dying or at the edge because this has never happened to me. And I'm just getting treated like a slave & starved while the world thinks I'm lying.
Even though I showed proof that I'm getting skinny and skinny to bones, that I tried to leave but I was choked by my dad. That I'm not safe here and even the police doesn't believe or just take bribes to not help me.
I really want to leave. I'm locked here not being able to do anything or even eat. Or even drink. I don't know how long I can last like this. I'm just crying everyday, hoping somebody will come and free me from here.
