Wow, CC, that's horrible. I didn't realize you had it so bad. Just curious, how did you go from being kicked out of your house in Ohio to North Carolina?

it may appear that everything is going against you at the moment, but it will turn round for you...and you WILL land on your feet.

be positive, be strong.

i know thats a pretty obvious thing to say, but i was once in a similar position where one bad thing happened on top of another. its difficult when you cant turn to the obvious choice (family) for help.

*hugs*

be strong

Thank you guys so much. I'm sorry that you had to read that. I was in a really bad place when I wrote that. I had basically come to the point of giving up. I still don't know what I'm going to do, but hopefully I can stay strong.

My whole life I've cared what others thought. I was always worried that something I was going to do would affect someone else. I never wanted to inconvenience anyone else, or cause them any kind of trouble. I never asked them for anything.

When I left my home in Ohio it was for my Mom. It was so that she could have a home. I really thought that she would help me until I found a place. I thought that it was only fair since I was giving up my home for her. I thought wrong. Heh.

I'm finally to the point where I'm going to do what I want, for me. I'm not going to care about what anyone else thinks. It's about time that I put myself ahead of others. It long overdue.

I'm getting cooler by the minute!

I know Rosh, but at least I can say I learned from this. If I make it through, it will definitely change me. It's already changed my views on the people around me.

im sure ill be flamed all to hell for even saying this, seeing as how your friendly with most of the forum...but being forced to live on your own at the age of 21 is not a big deal. most parents kick thier kids out at the age of 18. HELL was on her own way before that.
i was married, with a bachelors degree and a full time job, not to mention a baby to take care of when i was 21.
i think your being over dramatic, and i think its excellent your learning from this experience. I do feel sad for you that your parents abandonded you as far as emotional support..that is for shit. im glad you have friends that care about you.
consider yourself lucky that they didnt kick your out earlier.

My dad was kicked out at 18, too. His parents passed away when he was 11 & 12. He was the oldest of 3. He was forced to move in, along with his brothers, to his Aunt & Uncle's house. They already had 11 children of their own, and were not kind to my father or his siblings. A lot of physical and mental abuse went on. He doesn't talk about it much, but I do remember him telling me how for his 16th birthday he received a roll of toilet paper.

My point in sharing this goes along with what Chelle said. It does suck that things like this happen, but they do. There is no such thing as a perfect life, everyone learns from mistakes, or things life throws their way. You have the choice to let it ruin your life and cause you to be miserable, or to stand up, and fight for what you want. Like everyone's been saying, if you don't want out for your own self, and take care of your self, noone else will.

You first, Laurinda. It's time for you to be happy.

And though I'm not sure it's appropriate for me to say in a public place, I will anyways. I have not been here for you lately, and I am sorry for that. But like others have been telling you, I also have to take care of myself right now. As much as I love you, and would love to help you out in every possible way, I just can't until I can get myself on my own two feet. Please be understanding of that. I do love you, sweetie.

Everything will be okay.

just a warning..

chikchillin has taken money from a few asylum members already, under the pretense it will help her get back on her feet. she's asked and threatened other asylum members for money. this stinks to me of a money ploy.

you've all been suckered by her. all she wants is your money, not your friendship. whether you chose to believe this or not, you're choice. but don't blame me when you hand over money to her and find out you're not alone in giving handouts to her. sizeable handouts.

not cool, chik.

Speck, if that is indeed true, then this situation is deplorable and disgusting. I haven't seen hard and fast evidence of such, but have heard of one incident second-hand.

On the other hand, anyone who lends money to anonymous people via the internet should just count that money as spent. It's hard enough to get real life people to pay back, but the internet makes it oh-so-easy for people to dodge their responsibilities.

I agree with Chelle's assessment of the situation. Life could be a whole lot shittier. At least the fuck up is happening when you're young, and you have no dependents. You don't have anyone else to consider, to feel guilty about. Think about people who every day have to consider their children in light of everything they do.

This is crass of me, but I say it unapologetically. I've noticed that those who complain most in this forum are those who have the least real life responsibilities.
