I feel really raw and hurt right now after a yet again terrible conversation with my dad. My relationship with my dad is painful. He is an alcoholic. And probably depressed, with diabetes. He has many psychological issues from what I can see, and he refuses to acknowledge it or get help. I live with him and my mom. I'm working on a way to move out. I am on disability, and am not making enough that way to move out right now. But I have been told my disability earnings would go up if I moved out. I am meeting with someone Monday, to discuss this.

Good for you. There are ways to escape that situation. Be creative and keep looking.

Your disability may even be able to provide funds for the move

I had my appt. with the organization that was helpful for housing. I found out that my disability income will not go up if I move out. Right now, it seems like I will have to get a job or subsidized housing. I might post in the job forum about something. I would actually really like to work, just don't know how ready I am. Today, I have faith that things are going to work out, especially in time, and with perseverance. I am feeling more patient today, as, I think that getting my life together in this way, will take time. Today I am grateful that my parents let me live at their house rent free, and not upset with my dad anymore either. I just try to keep my distance, and be kind. Thank you everyone for the support.

Hi there. I feel for you. I am an alcoholic myself and I know how bad it has been on my family. You might try going to Alanon. That is support for the family or friends of an alcoholic. Good luck.
