I’ve actually dropped out of ual. Was wondering if anyone’s looking for a housemate in a house share that doesnt require u to be a student. I’m currently learning to be a nail tech and am desperate to get out of this abusive home situation. If anyone’s got any rooms spare in London please let me know!!!!
Dropped out of creative direction for fashion at lcf!
Dm me and I can tell ya more about me!
Quite frankly don’t know where else to post this and I don’t know what to do.
If you’ve seen my previous posts, I recently just passed my cbt (yippy). I now would like to collect my own bike from my father’s garage. But he won’t let me.
We have a highly complicated and manipulative relationship. Where my bike is perfectly fine for him to ride and use, but the moment I’d like to have it, and ride it, it suddenly has a million things that need to be fixed, delaying when I’m able to collect my own property because he insists on fixing them.
I did my cbt and without the knowledge of my father because he is highly against me paying money for anything and is very controlling and particular about how things are done/how I was taught to ride my bike (he taught me the opposite of what is standard btw).
So this is basically a cry for help as he is refusing me collecting it from his garage even though I can quite happily adjust my chain, put my L plates back on and whatever else (don’t even know) needs doing, myself.
EDIT: after some begging ive let him get it up to his "standard" of "safety" (its literally fine) before he drops it off over to me tomorrow. lets see what happens.
I genuinely cannot retain Information by reading an extremely boring and serious looking page/app.
Is there any recourses I’ve missed such as podcasts/fun videos that give full coverage.
Im sure im not the only one who struggles with teaching myself stuff, especially when it comes to just having to read. Im just not cut out for it what can I say.
After failing my first cbt (as many others have pointed out, it didn’t seem to be designed with the complete beginner in mind), for struggling with u turns and figures of 8, on my first attempts ever trying them. We decided it wasn’t best for me to complete the on road section.
As I’m sure you can imagine I felt rather disheartened, but I did understand it’s best that I don’t go on the road then end up in a crash! I do wish I had more time to practice with them instead of 3 attempts and that’s it, game over. (Felt a lot more like a “test” and judging session than “training)
I’ve practiced more since, on my own bike and am due to re attempt my cbt next week, and while I may have improved, it’s now the on road riding which is freaking me out! I’ve not even ridden a bicycle by myself on the roads (but I can ride a bicycle, and have ridden on roads, just not ALONE)so I’m nervous as to how I’ll be?
I have booked a novice induction a couple days prior hoping I can practice properly without the guidance of my dad, who, with many years of riding experience has, perhaps not the most cbt appropriate advice.
I’ve booked both the cbt and induction at a new place, hoping they’ll be more beginner friendly.
For context, my father has been helping teach me but he is not the best teacher and I feel very patronised and belittled when trying to practice with him (rolling eyes and impatience mainly, not taking me wanting to ride seriously, as if I bought my bike just for funsies). So I’ve not practiced for a while as it’s just more stress than it worth. And he’s made me out to feel a lot worse at riding than I probably am.
It’s just all getting to me, maybe it’s just my social anxiety of being independent for once 🤣 anyone in a similar situation who can help out would be amazing as I’m feeling pretty alone in this right now.
TLDR: failed last cbt, scared to go on roads for cbt retake.
I want to request the history of my father as I am aware of previous physical abuse he has done towards my mother. I still live with him. My mother does not. I am increasingly scared of my safety after watching his mental health deteriorate over the past 10 years.
I’ve never been told the truth of what happened between my parents/ they’ve always alluded to the fact there’s things I don’t know.
I feel I have the right to know as I’m living with the, for lack of better words.. abuser.
I am worried they will tell my father that someone has requested information about him as I’ve seen that they do that.
Anyone know if this is true?
Hey guys, considering going to Motolegends in Guildford to check it out. Have read a lot of negative things about them however… wondering what the general consensus is?
I’ve seen their very unprofessional very clearly ego driven responses to 1star reviews on trust pilot and has given me the impression to not go there.. is it really true that they’re arrogant and not very good at customer service?
Does anyone have anything actually positive to say?
Hey guys. I’m looking for good ladies boots that are better for wider calves. I currently have these ankle sort of boots but am looking for something to cover my shins as well but most tall boots don’t seem to fit my calves!! Can’t even do my boyfriends RST ones up on me lol
Hey everyone! Looking for some advice for escaping toxic/mentally abusive parents and complicated divorced parents living situation.
Currently about to start a job which is about £24k a year but most places near me require £30k a year to determine affordability.
House share is a possibility - but I require more space than just one room (as I’ve got two rooms currently one at mums and one at dads)
I have to leave asap I’m hanging on by a thread!
Hey guys. I (20f) just left university as it just wasn’t for me and I found it really hard to make friends. Now I’m home back living with my parents - which is a situation I originally went to uni to get out of (and a degree ofc)as it’s just so complicated as they’re divorced and I don’t have a good relationship with them to say the least. Now I’m back home and really struggling with loneliness as I’ve got absolutely no one to talk to and I have no idea where to turn or how to make friends. I’m alright at socialising but mainly not in groups and not a big drinker which is probably why I found it hard in uni. I like one on one friendships but these seem really hard to come by. Currently looking for a job so I can move out of here but it’s not looking too good given most places want u earning 30k a year just to afford basically minimum rent u can pay.
Ridiculous stuff - any words of wisdom or support would be appreciated
