Yeah. That's the trouble. I'm really afraid to stop working because we might all end up homeless. But at the same time it feels futile because the money I earn goes to a family member who controls my life. So my efforts give them more power but lets me have a place to live. I've been applying for jobs for 5 years now with no luck. I'm listed as a partner so leaving the company looks like failure. I don't think I can get a job by telling an employer I've was cheated by a family member when I was young and I've been working for room and board for over a decade. When I need momey for things, I have to ask for it and they usually yell at me or insult me. I feel like this is the end of the road for me. I put my life's work into the family business and since I can't find another career I am trying to demand equality and actual pay which makes friends and family think I'm a *****. My sister tells people I'm simple and she looks after me.

Thanks for understanding why I have to keep working. People have called me codependent because I can't get out. But I have been trying for a long time. Sorry to go one, it's been really bad most of this week. I've been asking for a $6 memory card so I can use the camera for personal projects. They've denied it to me for 3+ years so I lost it and told someone why I was angry and now they probably think I'm nasty too. A memory card sounds petty, but my family don't let me have the same phones and electronics they use so I can't build a reputation online to try to get career opportunities. Now someone thinks I slandered my sibling over a memory card and wanting attention on social media. But the problem is my family made me invisible so I can't form new social networks or find support except anonymously.
