I'm a college student, and I normally live at school. This summer I have to live at home again, which I hadn't planned on and don't like. My mom, brother, and brother's girlfriend all live here, too. I feel like I'm this huge disappointment of a daughter, and my mom would rather have my brother's girlfriend as a daughter instead of me.
My mom couldn't afford to send me a birthday present, which is okay when money is tight, but today she gave my brother's girlfriend a graduation present. It's not the "stuff" that bothers me, it's just that she'd rather give her stuff than me. She also took my bureau out of my room when I was in school, so now I don't have one. I mentioned this to her and she said too bad because she paid for it. That doesn't really make sense to me, it was still mine. How would she feel if I went and emptied off the shelf in her room of all her stuff, threw it on the floor, and took the shelf.. since I paid for it and all. That's exactly what she did to me. I also, apparently, don't get to use the family food stamps. We only get 80 dollars a month, which I know isn't much, but literally the only thing i asked for was a two dollar loaf of garlic bread. I did buy my own groceries here a few days ago, and everyone else ate all of them, but I can't use the collective money for groceries? I don't get it. If I buy my own groceries, I'm going to start labeling them and charging people for eating them. There's a lot more going on at home, but these are the basic things that are making me upset today in particular. I feel like I'm complaining, but I guess it helps to just write it all out, even if no one reads or cares. |

Well this sounds like a fine start to the summer. Sorry. Can you buy stuff and hide it in your room?
Luckily this is for the summer and the fall will come again. Maybe you will wish to stay at college next summer? Hang in there. I know the gift thing was kind of warped but maybe your mom buys as she gets money. Not good money management but maybe the way she sees it. Sorry Asylum... sounds like a bummer but know that you will be able to leave the bedlam eventually and they will be there stuck in it. |

It all sounds a bit off...any chance you can have a non-yelling conversation with your mom about all that is going on?

Well I tried asking her calmly about the bureau and she just started yelling about how it was hers. I don't think it'll happen. She also has told me on numerous occasions that I make all my problems up in my head. I don't have a job yet, but I will go back soon.

I'm sorry that conversation doesn't go well...It probably is best to work as many hours as you can to stay out and save so next summer you won't be put in the position of having to come home.
Does she normally yell? or is this a recent thing?

No, it's been bad the past few summers. I don't know why I keep coming back, I swore I wouldn't this summer. I had a suicide attempt and stuff this past April, though, so I wasn't in the condition to stay for summer school and I didn't have enough money saved for an apartment. I thought she'd be nicer to me, but apparently not. I'll definitely get my job back soon, so that I can get out of the house more.

Do you have a T that yuo can see back home? I'm assuming you have someone at school...if not probably something to consider especially with April's events.
Stay safe... Stay out of mom's way... Keep posting - we are here...

Yeah, I have someone at school, and I'm in the process of getting on here, but my first appointment isn't until May 30, but it's okay. I'm probably going to try and call my doctor at school tomorrow anyway. Thank you.

Good luck asylum, hope things get better.
I feel for you, I've been avoiding home for ages, since the friend my mother lives with isn't too understanding when it comes to getting that I'm not depressive on purpose, and it makes it really uncomfortable to be there. But it sounds like you're having a rough time, if you need to talk more we're all here for you. -Meander
