so my mom and i got into a huge fight last night. she got mad because she had to walk my sister to school in the morning by herself because both my ankles are badly sprained and she took it out on me and i just wasn’t having it. she started blaming me for the fact that we don’t have any money even though i’m the only one bringing in money and i just lent her $170 last week because she asked for it. she doesn’t even have a job.
i’m just so tired of the abuse and of living with a narcisstic mother who only thinks of herself and what i can do for her all the time. like, i can’t walk period cause my legs are so thoroughly fucked up and i’m afraid one of them might actually be broken, but the best you have is to get angry at me for not being able to walk? she shits all over me and what i want, her life consumes my own, she threw me out for being gay, she takes all her frustrations out on me and i just want out.
i’ve gone and fucked myself into a financial hole trying to help her, and yet she still blames me. i’ve lent her money which i wouldn’t mind if she didn’t use that to take advantage of me and continue to sit around on her ass and not make any money cause she knows i’ll just pay for it.
right now, i don’t have a car and due to the fact that my family is homeless, getting around anywhere would be a challenge. i can’t take the bus because i can’t walk. so id like to get a room in the same extended stay i already am in for time being. it’d put some much needed distance between me and my mom.
in order to get a room, initial bookings have a deposit of $100 and a minimum of 3 nights. that’s $260 total.
i’m tired. i want to wake up knowing i won’t be screamed at or told im disgusting. please help me.

In case no one told you growing up
- Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.
- If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)
- Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.
- You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)
- Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.
- Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.
- To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.
- Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.
- Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.
- If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.
- Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.
- After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.
- Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.
- Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.
To all the kids whose parents couldn’t help you with this kind of stuff

You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened… or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move on.
