I need dua and kind words 🤲

Assalamu alaikum wrwb. I would really appreciate if a fellow Muslim could share some gentle words or dua. Sorry if my English is not perfect. I’m a Japanese Muslim woman. A few years ago I accepted Islam when I married a Muslim man. We are now divorced. The marriage ended because he abused me physically, emotionally, and financially, and committed many haram things I could not tolerate. He kicked me out of the house and I’m staying elsewhere now. When I asked him to leave I called the police for my safety. I told them I had photos of my swollen face and showed the damage in the house. But they asked me, “Can’t you let him stay another month?” and seemed more worried about where he would live than about me. He somehow called my mother, and because his Japanese is limited he handed the phone to the officer. The officer, without checking with me, told my mother about the domestic violence. I had never told her before, so I understand it was shocking for her. Still, her first reaction was to worry about him, not me. That hurt deeply. Looking back, my mother has rarely been there in my hardest moments - often she seems to take the other side. Before he left he swore by Allah he would work for a year and send money every month, and asked me to renew his visa. I trusted him and extended it. He broke that promise and ran away. For the last few years I’ve been helping my younger brother start a business. It’s growing slowly, alhamdulillah, but the income is small. As a hijabi woman in Japan it’s very hard to find outside work, so Alhamdulillah I can work from home. Still, with my ex refusing financial responsibility, rebuilding alone has been incredibly difficult. I’ve hit many low points in life but always found small joys. Now I hardly have enough to eat. I’ve lost trust, my family ties feel broken, kind people seem far away, and I may lose my home. It’s getting too painful. Whenever I was in trouble my grandfather used to help me financially. I didn’t want to trouble him again but I had no choice, so I called and told him everything. He listened and said he was shocked and had a headache. At the end he said, “I’ll think about it,” and hung up. I think he’s disappointed in me. Maybe I was naive, but I always tried my best. Now everything is crumbling and I’m exhausted. My heart is breaking. Alhamdulillah, I trust in Allah and I’m grateful He is my true support, but the pain remains. I feel afraid of people. Where are the kind souls? I feel weak for being so tired and only able to cry. I would be so grateful for a kind word or dua from a sister or brother. Thank you for reading. Waalaikumassalam wrwb.
