| My mom was pretty hellbent on getting it over me for a while. I knew what I would be in for if she did so I said no way until she gave up. I'm way more high functioning than my mom has ever given me credit for...and if it wasn't for her sheltering me so much as a teenager, I'd be even more high func... |

| I don't know what to do anymore. I found my phone. My parents didn't take it after all. But now my mom insists on holding the door to my bedroom open and I don't know what she means but it sounds like she is intending that until I start paying her, she isn't going to let me move out. Turns out she's... |

| I just got back from DD. They said if I don't qualify for services with them, they will refer me to a place where I will. I should hear back from them on Monday. The lady from DD said she will also include a list of apartment complexes in the county that I could afford on my SSI. Meanwhile, I'm stil... |

I was at a womens refuge for a while (aggressive partner) and they let me bring personal stuff. It was in the UK though. I am not sure where you are.
I'm in the US. Would they let me bring a laptop and Wacom tablet too? |

| I might have to go to a homeless or woman's shelter for a while to escape from my emotionally abusive parents. I don't want to go if I can't bring my stuffed animal with me. I've had him since I was eight and I am twenty-seven. I can't sleep or even function without him. I need him to comfort me whi... |

| ABA only would have made me even MORE violent out of retaliation. If someone was willing to LISTEN to me and BELIEVE me as to WHY I was so violent (I was being bullied to the point of torture in school) and had actually DONE something about it instead of blaming me for it happening, maybe I wouldn't... |

| You could keep calling them... and also ask them for resources and help. The local Church may also be a wealth of information..even if you don't believe in religion the pastors usually know what gov. agency or any other organization you could contact for assistance. There's also the woman's abuse h... |
