Does anyone have any advice, I’m suffering a lot here.
Basically, I’m an adult but I live at home still since I’m in debt and can’t drive. I’m a college graduate though, and work a full time job.
My dad hates me so much. He has admitted it before when he was mad, and it shows in his actions. Today, I woke up to the sound of him screaming about me to my mom. He was furious because I took a toothpaste bottle from the basement when there was apparently a little still in the bottle I threw out.
This is the first time that has ever happened, but he’s screaming that I’m a waste of a person, he’s going to put a lock on the basement door, how dare I waste his money. Meanwhile I’ve offered to pay rent, but when I do, they just laugh and say “you don’t have money!” I know I only have like 15,000 in my bank account rn but I would happily pay rent if it would make me feel like a real person.
Anyway I try so hard not to be an angry bitter person but I hate him so much. I’m scared to leave my room right now, I don’t want to go down and face him and get berated. I can’t even go anywhere because it’s so cold outside, winter is truly the worst.
I don’t know how much longer I can take this but I don’t know what to do, sorry if I sound insane or whiny but has anyone gone through this before or know what I can do

>>69240Yes, we live in America; it is just so hard to imagine living on my own when I can’t drive. And I keep failing my driving tests like an idiot

>>69257Public transportation can have it's own problems but it could be a good alternative depending on your city

>>69257This. If you have any public transportation you can use to get to and from work, even if your commute time is ridiculously long (Mine used to be like 2 hours to and back) think of it on the bright side - Even those 2 hours is more time away from your shitty toxic dad and one step closer to getting away from him for good. I know it's cliched, but moving out really is basically the only thing you can do to preserve your sanity and get away from a living situation that toxic so find anyway you can to - That's not illegal at least - ngl My living situation had gotten so unbearable when I lived with my family that I considered running away several times, but there is high incidence of drug abuse and forced prostitution among runaways so I don't recommend that.

>Only 15,000
15k in the bank is a great amount of cash to have on hand even in this era of hyper-inflation. Have you thought about finding a place to rent close to your work? Biking there is a good way to get exercise and not have to pay for a car or insurance. You sound like you're in a really toxic situation and you just need to get out.

$15,000 isnt bad at all. You should just move out. You figure everything else out along the way.
