My daughter and I live together. She gets state aid and pays the bills my only income is food stamps. She's been desperately seeking a job
To say we are poor is an understatement
I have both pysical and mental issues that keep me from working and i have been fighting for sometime for disability
I can not get down and pick up things out of the floor so she has to do that but i am the only one who does the dishes and i babysit for her all the time even though iy damn near kills me to chase after her 3 yr old. But I love him very much
But every time i say i don't want to babysit or we have an arguement she starts cutting me down saying I'm worthless and do nothing and she's only 18 and has to care for her sorry excuse of a mother. After i had to go to the hospital this week for a gallbladder attack that i thought was my heart she sat with me at the hospital all worried but then at home she got angry because she had to do the cooking for a couple days and said i was milking it.Then she said your taking to long to die already. So last night we had an arguement where each of us said things we shouldnt but i had had enough of her beliddling me so i finally told her off and she got angry and threw a glass jar at my face. I woke up this morning.with a black eye. I cant live like this but i have no income and no where to go. None of my family will help me and all they do is ride her ***** over stupid stuff but no one helps. I can't tell anyone what she did because everyone will just yell and make things worse . I just know she's tired of me being here and I'm tired of being a live in babysitter only to be cut down and now hurt
I'm so lost.

(((widowlost))) - I'm very sorry you're in this awful situation. Her throwing a glass bottle at you is abuse and illegal. Are you on social assistance? I'm Canadian so my advice might not be totally applicable for your case. Could you go to social assistance and find a geared to income place for you only. If not, your daughter needs to get help with her temper. Please don't hesitate to call the police or get out for your own safety.

I get food assistance only. Here if you don't have small kids you can't get cash unless your approved for disability. They have housing but most u have to have an income enough to at least pay a light bill. And the waiting list is a yr or more. I'm going to try and get into a program that may be able to help me get a small job that works around my disabilities. but not sure how it will go. I love my daughter and don't want her to get a bad label at a young age. I know she is beyond frustrated but i can't live like this.

I am so sorry for everything you face and the relationship with your daughter. Have you told her how it hurts you to be spoken to like that? That you understand she is frustrated but it makes things worse to yell at you?
Growing up did your daughter have anger issues?
I hope you feel better
