I am 28M and still live with my grandma. I'll spare the details but basically my whole life I felt like I was born incapable of living alone. In the last month or so, I have gotten a bank account, however I am really thinking about fleeing the coop because my grandma has me locked out of my SSI check. I've spoken with the SSA, and they tell me I am my own payee, yet she has my check going to a joint account with me and her as owners, yet I'm not allowed to log in or even know the credentials. I just need to know if it will ever get easier for me, or if once I leave, I'm going to be miserable. I can't live like this anymore. I NEED my own life. I WANT my own life.

I understand I'd have to make way too detailed prompt

I kinda did. And it's not because I excuse the things he's done, but I blame Eldritch (or whatever his name was) for making Andre feel like he needed to fight Leif. I think it was "The Hardest Part" when they were in L.A and Darcy was defeated and Andre was breaking down, right? I felt like he wanted to give up, but also felt like since he's done so many bad things, it didn't really matter if he did or not. I just hope he found peace

Imagine a game like R.E.P.O where you explore Joey Drew Studios with friends, meanwhile the Demon picks you all off one by one

If Greg had his own studio, do you guys think he'd use Ableton, FL studio, GarageBand, or Logic?

Hey, parents. Please work your magic

I'm 28(M) and for my whole life, I made up a fake narrative that I was incapacitated and could never live alone. I had a mother who truly loved me but I couldn't see it, so I moved in with my father at 14 because I thought at eighteen she wouldn't let me move out so I thought he would. Turns out he was nothing but a snake. He used my SSI check every month on himself, my stepmother, and her kids, and the only time I saw money was when we'd go to the convenience store.

I moved in with my grandma at eighteen because I felt I was too emotionally unready to move out, but she ended up doing the same thing. Taking my check. She tries to justify it by saying how her father built this house and how because of it, it uses a lot of power and water. She's also emotionally and verbally abusive. She would enter these rages where she screams in your face, expects people around her to clean up her messes, and throws stuff. She is also leaving me financially dependent.

Now, luckily I spoke to my mother about how I feel and she validates me and tells me I'm not incapacitated. I'm not in a guardianship, I'm my own representative payee, etc. So I asked her for my SSN and created a bank account on Chime. However I'm scared of changing my SSI because I've spent 3 years without a rage and I know this one will be HUGE. I want to up and leave, but I have nowhere to go, virtually not enough money to save as I only see $100 a month.

Part of me really just wants to say "fuck it" and move cities

Hi! I am 28M and have set up W9s and stuff for game sale payouts, as I am starting to make games. I wanted to know what's the best email provider for contacting developers and streamers. I can't use Gmail, as they lock down emails to your phone's number and can't make multiple emails for my developer financial account, my business account, etc. But I also can't use outlook because they lock down my account when I add too many aliases or other emails

It makes no sense. We see him in chapter 2 and 3, but we don't see him in 4? Wouldn't it have made sense for him to grab something? Maybe mush up his body he can use as a shield?

Hi! I am 28M and living with my grandma (67F). For 10 years, she has constantly told me I'm incapable of living alone. She's a survivor of generational abuse, and because of this, and how her father treated her, she doesn't have the emotional tools like we do. She views family as extensions of herself (at least people who live under her roof) and does not value privacy. She thinks that just because she owns the house, she can kick open doors.

I want to learn how to set boundaries. I've talked to my mother about moving out and she said that she knows I can, but she doesn't think I'm ready, but don't worry, as I know enough about myself now that I know that isn't my problem. So anyway, I asked my mother for my SSN, set up an account with Chime, and I'm waiting for a good time to change my direct deposit. For a decade, she has kept my SSI check on a joint account I AM NOT ON, but I heard it from the SSA myself that I am my own payee, and I am not under a guardianship, so I have no idea how the hell she's doing this.

Anyway, I would move out, but no funds. I set up my tax information though so I can make money from making games, so hopefully sometime soon I can move out, but until then, I want to learn about setting boundaries, even though she constantly disrespects them, I have been doing it for the past two weeks, and it does seem like it's getting better, but I just need to know what and what not to set a boundary on

It's a long story, but I am 28 years old, and have never files taxes. Due to a toxic situation, I've been conditioned to never worry about my financial independence, but my mother has given me my SSN to start. I have filled out a few W9s for game distribubor websites, however, I don't know the best way to file taxes on the game sales. Can anyone help me?

Hi! I'm 28M and for my whole life, I have always been "off". Only socially. I didn't really fit in well in school. I had friends, but very little. The doctors told my mother when I was born I had global r, and then when I was 12, she took me in to see a neurologist and they told me and her that I was not r, just neurologically delayed, but only by a bit. My mother, because she has a narcissistic mother, I always thought was against my independence, and everything. Through my POV, she always fought with me, spanked me, etc, but turns out that was just to push me to my very best. She raised her kids way different then how my grandma does.

Let's cut to around 2013-2014. I have been BEGGING my mother to let me move in with my father. I thought he would be the best parent, but when I finally moved in, I realized how much of a snake he was. He barely made time for me, took my SSI check to feed my brother and his wife's two kids, and etc. It was a big mistake. So, when I turned 18, instead of moving out, because I was emotionally immature at the time, I called my grandma to pick me up, but again, I knew something was off the first month. She was a lot more verbal than I remember. Always telling me I don't know shit, that I stay on my computer the whole day, that I'm a wannabe, I'll never amount to anything. I lived there for TEN years, all the while she was drilling the "you'll never live alone" thoughts in my head. Even told me that the moment I try to move out, I will be either put in a group home, or put in a mental facility.

Cut to JUST A WEEK AGO. I started untangling the conditioning. I wanted to message my mother about this as it was eating me up inside, and for a few days, the fear of seeing it confirmed outweighed the action itself, but a few days later, I just said "screw it." We had a very long conversation, but at the end, she was very loving and said that I am capable, and whatever I do, she won't stop loving me.

So fast forward to now, she gave me my SSN, I opened an account on Chime, and I am now pending a tax interview so I can get paid from making games, for the first time in my life, I control my money, my agency, my independence.
