 Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2008 1:18 am Post subject: Would anyone like a roommate? |
 |
|
I normally would not do this but I am desperate. I need to leave my home. My mother is becoming ridiculous and I would like to leave before she gets a chance to throw me out. Her latest threat was today. If I do not stop FROWING in her house she will put me out...I mean...she is going to kick me for THAT?!! I feel that if I do not leave soon the consequences will be dire. I have pretty much been pushed to my linit. It is taking every bit of my self control to refrain from cutting myself to shreads. I am just that angry....but I would rather hurt myself than someone else so....
Anyway, I am 17. I am fairly odd but I will be extremely quiet. I know how to do laundry(even if I cannot spell it). I can cook a bit...I clean up after myself. I WILL get a job! I will not just BE there doing nothing!!!I am still in highschool....but I failed this(last?) year anyway so why bother? I am in summer school. I am prone to hyperactivity but I will control it the best that I can.I don't really know what else to say... Anyone interested?
I need someone to drive a U-Haul...my mom won't take me to get my permit so I cannot drive even though I really can...

| If you feel that you are in danger in that house then I believe you should certainly get out. However dropping out of high school is certainly not a solution. I would also advise you to be careful when seeking a roommate over the internet; a lonely teenage female is a walking target for a predator. I realize these nannyish speeches get old quickly but they usually are a good rule of thumb. Do you have any place you can go to to get away from your mother till you can leave the house? A library a friends house, another relative? |

I understand. That occured to me after I posted the topic. No, I do not. All of my friends have abandoned me. My relatives dislike me as well...

| Are there any professionals you can talk to to help you cope? After rereading your post I realized you said that the emotional distress your mother causes makes YOU want to hurt yourself. I misread that as "she threatened to hurt me". Surely there is a school therapist you could try talking to or a psychologist if you can trick your mom into arranging that for you? Trust me I understand what it's like to live in a psychological hell hole. Best thing you can do is find the little things that make it bearable till you can get the hell out of there AFTER you finish high school or get your GED or equivalent exit exam even if it's just a good book and a quiet place outside. |

The school counselers are on her side now. I exaggerate because she is so much better at talking than I am. I am seeing a headshrinker....occasionally. I miss alot of appointments. I have already passed every portion of the Grad exam. Even the one they sprang on us this year. They decided to add biology. This was just a bad year for me.

I hate to say it black cat, but LTP is right. Why did you fail your last year? Last I heard, it sounded like you were doing so well.
But FINISH HIGHSCHOOL! If you don't do THAT, you will have a harder time getting respect from others.
If not for the fear of appearance of impropriety, logistics, and legality, I would probably take you in in a shot.(Because you seem nice/interesting/diligent, and it would be interesting.) I say that only to indicate you can probably find someone.
BTW you may have a LOT of trouble renting a car/truck, or driving that, until you are 25! Don't ask me why, but 25 is the general cutoff. I say that only to let you know.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck. |

| Some states offer a equivalency exam for their students. It is usually like the GED but available at a earlier age. I can only speak for california but here you can take the test in 10th grade and there are i believe 3 test dates spaced over several months and like a 50 buck registration fee. I wish I could do more to help I can certainly understand what your going through. I had the erm unique experience of living with a sociopathic bipolar grandmother for a few years. Again the best way to get through it is to find little ways to "get away. Go to the park, go to a library, find a good book, fill up a mp3 player with good toons. It might not seem like much but it can be the difference between sanity and a trip to the psych ward. |

First, where do you live? Someone could offer a room then.

Sorry, I'm an aspie and can't tolerate living with other people.
In your case, don't worry because your mom can't throw you out because you are a minor. She could get into trouble for that. When you are 18, she can though.
Honestly, if you are frowning all the time, then you need to start practicing smiling when other people are talking to you. Its really important to NT's. But you need to learn how and when to do it. You need social training if you aren't already getting it if you are an aspie (and it sounds like you are). |
