Please Help Me Move Out Of My Toxic Household

Donation protected

Hello reader,

My name is Tin. I have been living in an abusive household since I’ve been in high school. My parents constantly take it out verbally on me and my sister whenever they have financial strains and they don’t have healthy coping mechanisms for stress so all they do is yell and berate us two. And sometimes it does turn physical in terms of them trying to hit me with brooms or throwing stuffs at me or the wall to intimidate me. I’m truly terrified.

I moved away for college but then due to deaths in the family and close friends I’ve developed and got diagnosed with bipolar disorder, that’s when my entire academic career went downhill. I barely survived college, with little to no relevant experience for jobs. 

Currently due to Covid, I have been staying home (after months and months of looking for work) and feeling uneasy about going back to work at all because I’ve seen what the workers have to go through and I’m afraid I will either get sick or bring the sickness back home to my parents. Yet, my mom constantly finds any reason to berate and bring me down constantly talking about how I’m a failure and that I could have been looking for work this whole time.  

It’s really hard being at home due to the fact that I am queer and can’t formally or fully express myself in all the ways that I would like to. Sometimes when I feel dysphoria I would have to sneak into the bathroom to do my makeup and just to have a sense of privacy. As well as the fact that I’m mentally unstable and my parents constantly dismiss or neglect my mental illness as a factor of my mood swings and instability. They used this fact to berate me further for not being able to find a job or keep up with the tasks in my life.

My mother is a hoarder and she constantly dismisses or ignores our warnings and concerns about how she constantly fill up every crevices of the house with her stuffs and gets EXTREMELY defensive whenever I would express concern about how it’s preventing me from having my own space, as we live in a two bedroom guest house and I’ve been sleeping on a couch for two years since I’ve graduated and moved home (as I thought then, this wouldn’t have been permanent).

I would like to move out of my home just so I can truly have a new lease on life. And hopefully removing my sister away from the situation too. I’m a good cook, a writer, a hard worker and resilient person to have held down my life until this point but right now I’m simply at a limit where I feel like I can’t escape this household and start my adult life until I have ample support.
