Have you tried applying for medicaid so you can get medical help without relying on your parents except to drive you?
I've had the "not trying hard enough" talk to many times with my son. I know he tries I really do. It's almost like I secretly want something to snap into place with one of those conversations and him be like yeah I guess I wasn't and his life automatically get better 10 fold. I know that's not going to happen but a girl can wish. The way your father did this was very verbally abusive and I hope my son doesn't see it like that.
At this point I'd try the group home just to get out of your current situation. It'll probably give you more freedom and give you more support in taking care of your health and getting on your feet. At least that's what they're supposed to do. They can't ignore your health issues either. I honestly think it may be a better living situation. That way you can save and maybe find a room mate there. At least give them a tour to get an idea of what you are saying no to. I know you didn't want to hear that but it's for your peace of mind not theirs. Here group home staff are very much people that hang out with you, bring you to where you need to go and keep tabs on you if your moods are messing up. The staff are not like parents at all. My sister-in-law loves working in a group home.
Can you put yourself down as the first person to call if someone needs a person to cover a shift?
