Need Advice??

Question

Okay so me and my mom dont get along AT ALL!!
Im 18 yrs old so I could move out at any time. The only thing is, I only mak 6 bucks an hour at my job and my mom pays for a lot of my stuff and Im still in high school.
I just cant take it anymore, Im so unhappy with living with her and I dont have any friends that I can move in with or anything.
Any advice at all???!?!
Thanks

And its not like I can just talk to her about it because this has been the way things are for as long as I can remember.
I try to talk to her and she just starts a fight with me!

Im not rebelling, she doesnt tell me no, I mean I am 18!!

Answer 1

Well, it's gonna be really hard to move out if your only making $6 an hour, especially if your still in school & she still pays for some stuff you need. It would probably be the smartest thing if you waited awhile untill your making more money & are out of school. Can you just be gone as much as possible when your moms there,or stay in your room, or something? Keep looking for a new job so you can make more money & in the meantime, start saving everything you can now. Look around for places you can move into when you you get enough money. Maybe find out how much it costs to just rent a room somewhere? Start making plans & set a date you can work towards. It will make you feel a lot better if you know everyday your getting closer to being out of there. You will probably not get as bothered by your mom if you can see it wont be much longer. I don't know what else you can do, but I hope things work out for you! Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

Do you graduate in May? If so, hold out until then and then start looking for a full time job that pays better as soon as you graduate. Once you have that job and know it is going to work out then start looking for an apartment. Take baby steps. Do not rush into anything. I lived with a mom like you so I know what you are going through. Spend as much time as possible away from the house so that you have some peace and quiet. When you are at home stay in your room. I know it is not the most pleasant way to live but you got to do what you got to do until you can get out on your own.

Good luck, hon!

Answer 3

Some advise. If the situation is really unbearable then you should finish high school, then take a year at a full time job. Save your money and then pay for your own schooling at a community college. continue to work and go to school, maybe you will do well enough to get some scholarship and aid. All this time though all your money will be going to your very survival and schooling. It can be done but is a constant headache and is always a pain in the ***, swear those nice things away. So if your situation now is worst, then be my guest and take that route.

Answer 4

Try to go to counseling and see if you can figure out why you and your mom have so much difficulty communicating. If money is an issue, contact your local mental health dept. I lived at home till I was 23. While there I lived by my parent's rules and respected them. It's their house, their rules. When you have your own place you can make the rules.

Answer 5

Tough it out until you graduate that's all you can do.

I can almost guarantee there's more to this story than is being told. I bet you get tired of your mother saying NO, just like all teenagers and you are rebelling against her authority,

Answer 6

isolation would be the soloution to this problem. You go to school and try to work as much as you can and keep conversations as simple as hi and bye. In return she should do the same thing

Answer 7

Go to Afghanistan for vacation when you get home you will have a different outlook about your mom

Answer 8

just try to work things out and everything will be alright
