IMPORTANT! LOOKING FOR A HOME
16 years ago
! ! !I N C O M I N G F R O M B I Z A R R O W O R L D ! ! !
As some of you may know, I'm 20, about to turn 21, I live with my father, and I've failed out of college twice in the last three years.
My father has, in the past year, cut off my internet and begun charging me 200 dollars a month to live in the house I grew up in.
Two months AFTER my father started syphoning off every cent I ever saved, I finally got a job. Working 16 hours and earning 300 dollars a month. That leaves me with enough to NOT STARVE, because my father doesn't feed me.
Now, come January 2010, I'm a hair's width from turning 21, and my father's imposing yet more sh!t on me. Starting today I'm taking several online classes, and my father is paying the WHOPPING SUM of 600 dollars for the semester. If I don't maintain a C Average or above, he'll cut me off completely, kicking me out into the street and essentially ignoring the fact that I even exist for the rest of my undoubtedly short life. On top of this, I have to be working 20 hours minimum, or he'll kick me out and cut me off. As I mentioned, I work 16 hours a week. I've ASKED for more hours, but they don't NEED me working more. Which means I HAVE to find a second job, or I'm homeless. All this time, he's STILL draining me for everything I make, so I can't even save up to move out.
To top all of it off, in April, when I turn 21, he's giving me the boot REGARDLESS of what I'm doing.
This is as much a vent of frustration as it is a cry for help. I literally cannot survive on the street, ESPECIALLY not the streets of Jackson. I have a friend who's willing to put me up after he gets his own place, but the earliest this could happen is in August, and I sincerely doubt I'll last that long. Please, if you're reading this and you have some extra space, I'm desperate and I'm running out of time.
