hi, my name is milo and im a 19 year old in greater manchester. for years, i have endured my mother and her boyfriend begging me for money, including birthday, christmas, even college bursary which was 60 per month. they financially abuse me and my family. it is getting to a point where it is really affecting me, more than ever before. the manipulation and guilt tripping is constant, often using my little brother or my cat to try and get me to send money. anything i buy for myself gets eaten even if i beg them not to. her boyfriend eats it out of spite, and even snoops in my room searching for any food i have bought for myself and hidden knowing it will get eaten if left downstairs.

i cannot afford to take care of myself with the bare minimum, and have them leech off of me, a minimum wage worker. i am actively looking for other jobs, i have been selling a lot of my belongings and i have little saved because they end up manipulating me into sending anything and everything. they do not work and i am solely financially feeding their needs when i SHOULD NOT be. it is so exhausting, i dread interacting with them because i know i will be asked for more money. and my family is the same. they scam my family into sending money and use manipulation tactics. its gotten to a point i HAD to make a groupchat to tell them not to send money and tell my family if they genuinely need money or not, along with keeping tabs on whos been asked for money and when.

i need to get out of this house, and i have began saving with my own money but i will need any and all help i can get. anything would be appreciated. with deposits needed for most properties its much harder for me to obtain a place as i make 600 or less a month and would have nothing for the additional needed rent and expenses.

thank you for reading, this is my absolute last resort.
