Hello @cherrybubblegum,help me
She has been threatening me with the cops for days. She invited me home then shamed me about money. How ungrateful I was. I paid her rent for two months in a row off a part time job. I was working those shifts during my finals for school.What happened? Why did your mother throw you out?
Do you need to go to the hospital? Where are you?
She has been threatening me with the cops for days. She invited me home then shamed me about money. How ungrateful I was. I paid her rent for two months in a row off a part time job. I was working those shifts during my finals for school.
She has been giving me the silent treatment because I hung out with a friend of mine. She has been eating away at my mental health for years. She never wanted me there. She called the cops on me today. After she gave me up for some sense of religion, some false prophet.
She has torn up all my stuff before. Turned my bed upside down when I came home. Locked me out of the house. Locked my room door when I was a minor. She beat me. She denied me when her ex husband raped me for years. She took me away from my father and isolated me from the rest of my family. She takes my money. Cuts off my communication to the rest of my family. And the one day it gets too much, I screamed. I yelled. I took papers down off the wall. I pulled down the plastic blinds. Nothing in comparison to what she has been doing to me for all these years. Killing me. Embarrassing me. Abandoning me. She weaponized my mental illness and tried to tell the cops I was mentally unstable. She lied. And when I tried to tell them how I had been dying in there, they told me to keep my head down and bear the brunt of it.
Now I am at risk of losing my job. I cant afford to go to school. I have had every ounce of self control ripped away from me. I have $98 to my name. And no one is replying to me. No one has attempted to check back in with me. I am alone now. I have been abandoned by everyone.
I'm scared. I'm really really scared. I've been scared for days.
thank you so much. you gave me hope.I'm not sure whether you can view private messages, so I'll post here.
I appreciate your comment, and I apologize for the loss of your support system. I'm sorry you were subjected to so much abuse and trauma while living under your mother's roof. In case you're unaware, I'll provide a list of social resources that might help you.
Your location and school are unknown to me. College campuses in the US have resources. Food banks, medical, hardship grants—you can find roommates. You can apply for a FAFSA grant /loan if you attend a community college. The summer semester starts in June, so it's fast.
In the US, you may qualify for state vocational rehabilitation if you have any diagnosed disability, including mental health. Tuition, books, dorms, and transportation are covered. Tutoring, medical care, singles alternative lodging, and food are also provided. They're a last-resort payer and require your FAFSA. Get here ASAP if you're in the US. If eligible, you can enroll for the fall semester.
Call your local emergency number, churches, and food bank charities for social services. If you need mental health support, go to the hospital. Visit these locations in person to receive emergency aid.
Check hostel websites for a dorm room bed; they're cheap, and you can stay for 3–4 weeks.
It's a difficult situation; don't skip work and stay in contact with your boss to prevent losing your job. Many corporations provide employee hardship grants, so ask yours. Hopefully, some of this information is useful to you. I have direct knowledge of all of this material. There is a lot of help available, and I hope relief aid arrives soon.
thank you so much. you gave me hope.
Thank you thank you thank youI hope you can utilize some of the great info @Little_Suzy dropped.
Vocational rehabilitation can be a great resource for sure. It paid for my community college tuition and books due to my bipolar 2 diagnosis. They covered my sister's first 2 weeks of salary at a place as sort of a working interview, provided clothing for interviews and work too. When she had to switch careers because of PTSD they reactivated her case and covered the price of gas, books and tuition for a certificate plan at community college.
We're thinking of you and rooting for you. I wish I could give you a real hug right now. All the best wishes to you.
