I was given disability for bipolar I with mania so I get about $450 a month from that. I have a permanent job as a housekeeper but they employ me every two weeks and only pay me $15 for on hour of work every two weeks! So that's $30 of income a month from housekeeping (horrible, I know!!!) + the $450, so $480 there and then I usually make $100 a month more working for the temp. agency (they don't have any jobs) bringing my income to a total of $580 a month income.
However, living with my parents is awful. I can't bring boys over. My wealthy parents own about five cars and there's no place to park, the garage is full. They make me repark my car eight times a day. My mom makes me drink cod liver oil every day and my stepdad is physically and verbally abusive to me. Like yesterday he insisted he could copy my car keys when the locksmith told me it had a chip in it and I couldn't. Yet he insisted he was right and COULD copy it. He started screaming that I was a STUPID SON OF A ***** for believing it COULDN'T BE COPIED. A few hours later he came back from the locksmith and they told him I WAS RIGHT. He acted extremely embarrassed and like an idiot and said, "Oh yeah, I guess you CAN'T copy the keys." I think he's part mentally retarded, dyslexic and deaf, he doesn't know how to use a computer and is always begging me for help with it. On top of that, I can never EAT at the house because he's always in the kitchen blasting the radio at HIGH volumes because he's deaf. He also sleeps on the floor with the dogs because my mom kicked her out of her room. So I can never use the kitchen at their house. Bottom line:
Do you think I should strike it out on my own with only $580 a month in my pocket? Oh yeah, I am 27 years old.
