Help Move Out of Toxic Home!
Donation protected
Hello, I am Janice (on the left), one of Chelsea's (on the right) friends who is setting up her gofundme, in recent events, her parents have caused her so much stress and anxiety that it's turned her environment at home into a toxic one.
Here is Chelsea's story...
"Hey everyone!
My friends are helping me by setting up gofundme to help me move out of my current living space.. Which is incredibly nice of them.
I'm 21 years old, about to turn 22 in May, and living with my parents has been a never ending stress rollercoaster. They've caused a large amount of the anxieties and depression that I face today, and continuing to live with them isn't just an option anymore.
Ever since I was young, I always felt that my brother was the favorite, leaving me to live up to high expectations and spending most of my years trying to get on their good side. As a teenager, I struggled but pulled through my harsh depression in high school. As an adult, I accepted the fact that I'll never raise to equal grounds as my brother, so I just stopped trying to impress my parents and live life the way I want to. Even though I know I'm not the favorite and never felt that way, I always thought my parents would at least help me out when I finally asked to move out.
I was completely wrong, the day I asked, the response that I recieved was that they couldn't "afford" me moving out, when all I asked was for $300 a month until I got a secure job (which is in short supply right now).
A side note to think on: They supported my brother through all 4 years of his college experience, when he got married, and even a little bit now with his new child. I have been living at home for 2 years of my college experience and unlike my brother, I've been actively looking for a job to help out my parents, unfortunately there are just too many people and not enough jobs.
Back to their response, I was told if I moved out, my dad wouldn't even want to support me at all, which makes me feel that I'm just trapped here and they only want me here because I clean the house so they don't have to. I truly believe they can afford it, but just don't want to do it. These are the people who have used the fact that they raised me against me when I try to tell them they are being unfair.
I need this money to help pay for the first 6 months of rent at my friend's house and then some for gas, necessities and school supplies (such as textbooks). I am also looking to buy a bicycle because I don't know if I will be able to take my car with me when I move out. I still need a means of transportation in order to get around.
I have been pulling back all my life for them, sacrificing every desire I had just so they could save that money, I've been pinching pennies, cleaning, and dealing with my own problems so I don't cause them any stress or pressure. Not anymore, I no longer want to hold back my life when it's barely beginning. I just want to finally fly from the nest, no more being chained down to this environment. If I'm too "expensive" to take care of, then I'll be less expensive when I remove myself from that house. I just want to start my life I've been constantly putting a hold on, so they could afford their favorite child and things for themselves. I have a lot of things to learn about myself, but I can't continue during my healing from depression and anxiety while I'm still at this house.
Anything helps me, and I appreciate every cent given.
Thank you so much for your support and I hope your lives grow to be better and stay happy."
Just last night I got a call from her, saying that she couldn't handle this toxic environment on her, that she made the final decision to move out. So please help out, if not spread the word! Every cent will lead to a better life for her, and if not for her, I wouldn't be able to tell you this now! She is a kind and loving person, and she doesn't deserve this treatment when all she did was sacrifice her needs and wants for her parents.
Thank you again.
