Please anything will help, sharing advice etc.
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out because I'm in a toxic house environment with no money because my parent are controlling, I'm 17 about to turn 18.
They won't allow me to get a job and when I do they expect me to help pay bills. I wouldn't care to help if they didn't abuse and belittle me everyday.
I'm scared for my life yesterday my mother threaten my life, today she tried to chock me. My father also put his hands on me today while I was trying to make sure my little brother was okay because they were fighting physical and verbally. Please help me get out. anything will help. I'm scared and shaking, I can barely breathe, every time I'm around them my body goes into flight or fight. If I can't get out I'm scared of what's gonna happen to me in a few weeks. I’m in a really tough spot and need some advice or resources. I’m looking for ways to leave or at least find some temporary safety.
I’m currently live in the Midwest. I don’t have a lot of money or support, so I’m open to any advice—whether it’s about shelters, legal aid, job resources, or just emotional support.
