[!] Considering the possibility of running away from home...
10 years ago
So... my mother is on her way from Florida to bring my grandmother to live with me and my father... and I'm considering now might be a good time to leave the nest. I'm not totally sure if I'll do it, but it's certainly an option at this point. For those who don't understand why I'm even considering leaving my lifetime home because of this, you'll have to understand why a good chunk about me and my real life family.
My mother... well, I barely consider her my mother. She is the women from which I was born, and the wife of my father. She has done nothing to earn the title of "mother", and even my father agrees with me. She acts more like a mean big sister, like I'm the little brother she never really wanted. She's never cooked a meal for me, never helped me when I'm sick, and the average stranger tends to be nicer to me then she is. All she has done is emotionally abused me, acting like an emotional vampire... and sometimes even physically abused me, though that pales in comparison to the psychological torture.
There were literally points where I screamed out in my sleep for her to "leave me alone"... and points where I snapped and threatened her with a knife if she didn't keep pestering me on certain issues. I know how extreme that sounds, but that's how much she drives me wild. It's hard to explain exactly how she tortures me... other then she keeps pushing my (and my father's) buttons, even if she doesn't mean to.
But as bad as my mother acts, she used to be worse... and my grandmother was twice as bad as my mother is now, and even drives my mother nuts in the same sorta way that my mother drives me nuts. And that was before my mother became senile in her recent years. I don't even know how bad she is... but even if she's still only as bad as she was, that'd be enough reason for me to leave ASAP. To be honest, even with just my mother, I've been trying to do everything I can to leave and get my own home.
So, here I am, debating whether or not I actually should run away from home... I don't have a car (can't afford one), a job, and not enough money to stay at a motel, at least not for more then a few days. I could probably get by, but I'd basically be homeless if I left as is...
Which is why I am asking the FA community if there are any individuals in or near the central Arkansas area who is willing to take me in, at least until I can set up a more permanent home elsewhere. While I guess you could call me an AB or Babyfur, I won't do that sorta stuff (unless you want me to) IRL. Plus I can cook a bit, clean, and I'm great with computers. Just treat me well and I'll do the same :)
Or, if you don't live nearby but still wanna help, I'll happily take donations of funds towards finding a new place to call home.
EDIT/UPDATE: Well, my grandmother is actually here... and while she is clearly at least partly senile, she doesn't seem to be any worse... still, I wanna leave home anyway, preferably my own place or with a fellow AB, but I'll happily take whatever I can get.
