My dad’s starting to creep me out.

Repost bc the “Read the Rules” thing removed it :/

Added the flair/TW just in case, my father has never sexually assaulted me.

Anyways, I’ve never been particularly comfortable with my dad. He’s a pretty volatile person, easy to piss off, and also emotionally unavailable/just not present.

But these past few months, I’ve noticed he’s been acting…a little weird? For information’s sake, I’m a 19-year-old girl and I’m home from college for the summer.

He texted me a couple months ago “Hey beautiful, just thinking about you [hope you’re having a good day, love you, etc].” Sorry if this is immature wording, but it immediately gave me the ick. Yeah, my dad’s said I’m pretty before, but he’s never used the word “beautiful” as some kind of pet name. It made me a little uncomfortable, but I didn’t say anything.

When I came home and we went out to eat, he did the same thing, except this time it was “hey, gorgeous.” Again, gave me the ick. It just felt wrong.

I was lying in bed yesterday, and he came by to ask me if I wanted to go out to eat with him and my brother. I said no and that I wasn’t feeling good (I just didn’t wanna go), and he started, like…rubbing my back and waist and thighs for thirty seconds or so.

It made me feel so dirty, but he didn’t technically do anything. I can’t tell if I’m overreacting or if he’s being weird. I just don’t know. I don’t feel like my dad’s little girl anymore.

I hate living here.

Mom wants me to cosleep. I’m 19.

My mom and sister sleep in the same bed because our house doesn’t have enough beds for everyone. I sleep on the couch because of this.

Anyways, my little sister (9) is going on vacation with her dad, and my mom asked me (19) to sleep in her bed while she’s gone because she “gets scared.”

I told her no (because who wants to cosleep with their mother as a college student?), and she said “that makes me upset. It’s like you don’t care that I’m scared.”

??????

First of all, she’s in her forties. She’s not four years old anymore. Second, I’m pretty sure that’s not an appropriate thing to ask of your child. That’s something you take up with professionals.

I just. I don’t even know what to say. Eugh. I can’t help but feel a little gross.

Woke up to her stealing my money

We had a yard sale last week. She told me to keep all the money because she knows she owes me (probably around 4-5k). I do, and I hide it because she has a habit of taking my money.

Two days ago, she asks for $45 for a vape. “I’ll give it right back.” “I don’t want to ask your grandfather because he’ll yell at me.” You know what? Sure. Whatever. I still have \~$100 left.

She never gave it back, of course.

I wake up this morning, and I hear my mother go into the room where I keep my money. And then I hear the chest of drawers where I keep it open.

I asked her if she took some yesterday, and she said yes. I counted it all. We earned $145, and she left me with $23.

I’m so tired and so drained. When I came home for spring break a couple months ago, she stole my debit card without my knowledge and completely drained it (\~1.3k). She took over half of my financial aid refund. She stole 75-100% of each paycheck I got in high school. She’s taken cash straight from my wallet for years.

Hell, she steals from my nine-year-old sister, too.

She’s left me near penniless because she couldn’t quit drugs, can’t quit vaping, can’t quit spending on useless shit we don’t need (random trinkets or squishies my sister demands and doesn’t need) or groceries no one will eat.

She refuses to stick with a job because everyone she works with is always oh-so-mean to her, so she’s always borrowing shit for car payments or gas or things she should have covered. My sister’s child support gets blown fast whenever he pays.

I’m just sick of her shit. Of having a mother who has the financial responsibility of a child. Of having a mother who has kept us in poverty because she won’t work or save or do literally anything to help any of us.

Cat’s name is Pyaari and she has her own little Insta account

Will my contributor be able to see my student financials?

I need to invite my dad, but I’m scared he’ll check my own financials and blow up on me because I have a lot less than I should (my mom stole a lot of my savings so I’m near broke).

Will he able to see that, or can he just access his information?

I need oral surgery, but I’m fucked because no surgeons will accept Medicaid

What it says on the tin. I have two impacted canines, one trapped my jaw, the other erupting and now causing damage to another tooth.

I finally decided to look for dentists/oral surgeons so I can get this taken care of, but lo and behold, almost no dentists accept Medicaid, and the ones that do don’t offer surgery services. Before anyone asks, I looked at the local dental school and the public health clinic. They only offer general dentistry.

So it looks like I’m shit out of luck until I can go back to college and hopefully find someone in that city (which comes with its own host of problems).

I just want keep one of my teeth intact, but apparently that’s too much to ask for unless I can fork over hundreds to thousands of dollars that I don’t have + need for next semester’s rent. Fuck my life.

Edit: the dental college nearby DOES NOT OFFER SURGERY. I need surgery.
