I read this a little out of order but appreciate all the details here. I get the impression that you saved Mrs. D's life by calling for the ambulance / medical help. Since I read the following chapters, I am not sure if you ever found out what happened to her later, but it sounds like you definitely needed to get away from there like you did.
One fix:
I had a windbreaker in the bag which I put on overtop of my sweater but, it couldn't do much against the rain.
I think try:

Comment from Ric Myworld
I'm sure some of those thoughts flash back from time to time, no matter how much you wish they would just go away and never come again. But I've learned that even those bad feelings have a purpose, to remind us what we have to do to protect ourselves. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so sorry you had an accident and received 3rd degree burns. I hope everything is healing up well and you'll be good as new soon. And never apologize for a slow response, since I'm sure you always have better things to do than reply to FanStory reviews. Wishing you the best!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
How very sad this post is Lea, to feel this alone, with no where to sleep, little money and no one to help you. I once felt this alone in my life and it is a very scary feeling, thankfully it was a very long time ago. You have met some bad people Lea and you have tried to do the right thing, and bad people always remain bad. Another fine chapter in your sad story, love Dolly x

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is such a sad read, Lea, as you recount that, once again, you're on the move in the rain with just your bag as living proof of your existence. No wonder people in this position have identity issues and need to keep reminding themselves of who they are. I kept thinking at least you've got proof on your arm of Mr D's abusive behaviour. But I'm wondering if you'll be going back there. Possibly not. This is a much more cohesive account from the last one I read. That break did you some good and such a lovely event in January. I remember my own experience when my dog was pregnant and how much we bonded (I was very depressed at the time) Take care Lea and Merry Christmas! Debbie

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This line stands out. How powerfully phrased: "Everything that says I'm alive is in that bag. Without it, I was an anonymous person, without identity." This is very telling and strongly descriptive: "I gently peeled back the sleeve of my shirt. A black bruise that circumferenced my arm in the perfect shape of a hand." This is excellent. I haver them on my list. I'm working my way through Ghost

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Again, this story needs to get out. Did you ever find out what happened to Mrs. D or was this the last time you saw her and the children??
What I want doesn't matter. what I need to do is take care of business. (What)
When I saw the look in Mr. D's eye my fright almost had me until my rage began to rise. (comma after 'eye')
Mam,what is your name? Are you able to-" (Ma'am, what...)

Comment from BethShelby
I'm thankful you are out of there and still in one piece, brused but not bloken. I'll be anxiously waiting to find out what is next. For a young beautiful wonan, I'm surprised you want to live in a cabin in the woods.

Thank you my friend sorry it took so long to respond I've had a terrible accident and got third degree burns but I wanted to say thank you for your review and I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Comment from Jacob1395
This is another tense scene, Lea. I was glad to see you try and stand up to Mr D, who really is an awful human being and I could really sense your frustration at the end of the piece. An excellent chapter.

Mr. D had other things on mind too. ON HIS MIND
Good write dear Lea... very exciting... Only one error I found....
Also, you do need help with some punctuation... mainly commas here and there...
