Hello, I was sent here from a user in self. (Thank you kind internet stranger!) To see the full story of what brought me here tonight you can check that post out on my page (my post in texts might provide useful information as well, I would link these, but that’s not allowed here, rightfully so) but first I’d like to say that I have read some of your posts and hope you all know how wonderful and strong you are. If no one has told you in a while, I’m proud of you. ♥️

I guess I’m just hoping to hear some success stories or receive some advice. I need a little help here. My one and only escape plan failed, and honestly I fear that I’ll never leave this place. Due to my autism and mental illnesses, I never learned how to be an adult, and now it’s hard on me. I couldn’t afford to go to college anymore. (And my mom made that worse by bouncing a check, now I owe an entire semester’s worth of cash.) I have no work experience, and i guess that’s why no one will hire me. (I’ve applied to over 15 places, some twice.) On top of that, I have two dogs, so just leaving with nowhere to go isn’t a great option. I have no family (I only had my grandpa), no friends who can help, and the cops dismissed me because she told them i was mentally ill and had proof. (My medications, and I’d been in a mental facility.) So, basically I’m broke and essentially w0rthless for a soon to be 23 year old. I’ll also probably be in trouble soon, because I told her how disgusting her behavior was in response to her text and how she was once again making things about herself and making me out to be a bad guy when I was only seeking her comfort, so it’s not looking great for me at the moment.

The irony is, my birthday is next week. My mother re-traumatized me 8 days before my birthday. I knew it was gonna suck.
