How old are you and you still live with your mom? Best thing for you to do is - make sure you finish your education or take additional training so you can be independent and never taken advantage of. The best person for you to depend on is yourself and a partner is a bonus. I hope it gets better for you.

I'm 18 and this is my last semester of high school. I have a counselor that I talk to, but I feel like I'm talking to myself and I really don't get feed back from her. We built more of a friendship than me being a patient. haha! I'm not complaining, but I go to her for advice and she talks about her issues too.

I honestly feel that counseling isn't helping me much. That's why I'm on this forum. I feel like relating to others will probably bring back the self-confidence and trust because we're all working together here it seems!

I take my education very seriously. I'm in an additional course for Law Enforcement/Criminal Justice. I've already started prepping for my career as a K9 instructor for working dogs. I started an internship weeks ago, and I'm already talking to the main K9 instructor about training me for my career.

Thank you all for your support!
