Question On Living Situation?

Question

I'm 18.

I've lived in over 14 states I believe along with a few oversea countries. [Dad was in military and we just kept moving when he got out]

Long story short, dad isn't in the picture anymore nor is my sister.

So i live with my mom.

We're currently living in a VERY small town.

Things around that I can apply at for a job either don't hire anyone unless they've got some high degree in college or they're filled for the season or for the part because everyone else is trying to get a job...

anyways.

i get in arguments with my mom entirely.

i live on the street for the most part because she tells me to get the **** out and etc.

before i was 18 she'd do the same.. call the cops on me.. tell them i ran away.. and i'd get in trouble because when i was 16 i had a situation with the law and i was on probation until my 18th birthday.

my friends agree that my mom is probably the meanest person they've met.

some months ago, we stopped arguing because she actually started taking medication for being bipolar.

so again, long story short. she's told me i can kill myself and who would care, told me for the first time she hated me in 7th grade. tells me i was a mistake.. you get the point.. i'm not going to explain my life.

I HAVE to get away from her...

more than anything, I can't stay with her anymore with her back handing me and c**p.. and i'm not going to hit my mom so really i just need to get away.. though i have no idea how to get a job around here.

in multiple attempts while being kicked out, i've walked, biked, skated from 30-60 miles away to other cities and yet it's very hard to live when you have no money.. no food.. no water.. and you're trying to apply at a job with dirt all over you.. and there's nowhere you can take a shower.

i don't really have anywhere to stay most of the time because i move so much that it's sort of pointless to make friends along with the point that i just don't really care to make them anymore..

any ideas?

cause i have absolutely no idea what to do.. and i can't take this anymore.

Answer 1

Find a shelter for young people and get some help. Take on, this is it. I am going to live the life that I want. Sounds like you got street smarts and want more for yourself. Now, how did you get on this yahoo site?

Answer 2

It is very hard when you don't have a job or transportation to venture out on your own. Sounds like you had a rough childhood and I'm sorry to hear that. The only secure option I can see is maybe joining the military yourself. You would have your food and shelter provided for you and a steady, secure income. But just know what you are signing up for in the process. You will be bound to your contract once you sign. It can be a good thing though. You can just do it for 4 to 6 years and get some good skills and also receive some very good education benefits so that once you are discharged, you can go to school and get a degree. Then you can have an actual career and get work pretty much anywhere you would want to go. Otherwise try the employment office in your area and maybe they can help you find some work. Good luck. Hope things get better for you soon.

Answer 3

Go to a church and ask for help, or find a shelter that will take you in from an abusive situation.  Seek counseling and get as much help as you can.  Good luck.

Answer 4

Bless your heart I feel so bad for you and wish I could help you. I have a grandson the same age and I love him dearly and worry about him constantly because he lives with his abusive dad. I think all the time about how I want to rescue him from that living situation. You have it very rough and I agree you should just stay away from your mother. She sounds heartless. There are places that will help you I know there are. Churches and resources in cities. You must find them and they will help you get clean and find work. I just hope you are not on drugs because if you are then that is the reason you are in your situation. Do you have any other family members that would help you? I can't imagine your grandparents not helping. Or an uncle or aunt. If you can get cleaned up and go to McDoanlds, Walmart anything just to get started. KEEP GOING BACK because it's when you do that-- that shows people you are serious and really want to work. Where are you using a computer? After you get a job ask a friend if you can stay with them and pay rent until you save enough to get your own place. You may not be able to rent an apt but you should have enough to rent a room at a friends house. Please write again Jack and let all of us here know what is happening with you. May God watch over you.
