[caramelqueen12]

im only 18 as i was growing up i had my sister she was the only family to me. my mom always brought different guys in the house to live with us since me and my sister was younger. my sister was older than me so she graduated and left the house before me. im just now going off to college and the college i was going to messed my information up including money couldnt even get a job on campus...forced me to come back home. in college i had no help...i just had one family member there who went to college with me. she never helped me or anything...as much as my sister and I have helped her I got no help in return. my mom never paid attention to me she always showed guys attention. im back at home now and still cant even get attention she doesnt like to sit down with me and talk nor does she like to help me out with problems. i have goals in life and it is school...job...and place.... . i plan to be out of here by april. my dad is not in my life nomore since im a teenager. when i was young he did everything but now since my teenage years 14 and up i got to constantly beg him for something and im tired of begging. he never answers my phone calls nor does he help me out with anything. my mom dont listen to me. my sister left out for service because she was given a car and had a job i was too young to get a job then....now im older things are tough. i have no car no nothing and i would like to get out of this town. all of my childhood friends and classmates are deceased because of the violence. people are racist about who they hire i even put on my educational look and still was turned down in this small town. my mom doesnt care about me she puts her boyfriends first and she starts alot of drama with me to get me kicked out of the house just because her boyfriend is here she barely be here do anyone know any organization that can help me? my sister was a big help to me but now she's in the armed forces. i wasn't taught the things i needed to know now when i was young nobody was there. the things i seen was no good attraction to how to do things

Hello,

First off I'm so sorry that we took so long to answer your thread, normally us staff members go about answering threads who have not received responses after a couple days. Your thread must have slipped through us.

I'm also so sorry about the predicament you are in. Growing up in a somewhat dysfunctional family; I can understand what you are going through. Often times not only us but a plethora of other kids and born into parents that aren't very functional.

I'm glad however that you have goals in mind, you may have had some set backs (i.e comming home) but things aren't always over. Perhaps you can find a job and enroll into your local community college for once, and at the same time try to go online and find someone to share an apartment with so you wouldn't have to spend as much money.

About organizations, since your over 18 unfortunately I don't believe that there are much organisations out there to help you. Perhaps if you run a google search on "Family Help" you might get something

But nonetheless never give up, you have already fought so hard; under your circumstances many people would have called it quits but you kept going. This is what makes you have so much potential in life to succeed.

Good Luck!

darling, you should be proud of yourself for being strong. if i was you i would move away and start again. obviously its easier said than done, like always, but it would be a big help. your sister has been there for you but shes preoccupied now (i wish her luck in the forces). you say you wasnt taught the things you needed to know, but you seem like you know alot already, youve got yourself to here havent you. you need a new set of friends, something to take your mind off whats bothering you. one day your mum will come round and realise, but you cant change someone that doesnt want to change. its the same with your dad. i dont know what your parents are going through to act like this, but we all have our reasons. move away, find a new job, find new friends and start afresh. its a big step, but itll be worth it as long as you keep strong. it will become easier. good luck x
