Two months ago, my mom ask me would I like to get my own apartment if she helped me pay my rent. I thought that it would be a great idea to start to learn how to get out on my own. So I accepted and moved out of my dad's house (who I was living with. My parents are separated) and got an apartment. Both parents would pitch in money to help me. On the second month my mom decided to back out at the last minute ( this is something that I'm not surprised of) and left me to struggle. My dad is still helping me, but he can only do but so much. I just got a new job that pays better, but I don't get paid until the middle of the month. I have a car note that's past due, car insurance due soon, a cell phone bill due soon, next months rent that 's due soon, and absolutely no food in my apartment. I don't know what to do.How could a mother constantly let her only child down. She's never been there for me and when I thought she was turnning around, she let's me down. What can I do?

I can't move back in with my dad. He has no room for me now. My auntie and her boyfriend moved in with him. So, I'm kind of stuck :(

Ask your dad if you can move back in with him. I am sorry about your mother, it's a shame. Get rid of the cell phone, they are not a necessity. Keep your job . Save as much money as you can after you get your bills caught up. When you have saved enough money to live on for 3 months then get your own place. Make sure you get your bills paid. Good credit is very valuable. I wish you the best.

Talk to your dad about this. I know he can't help you any more than he is financially but he may have some good ideas. Don't keep it from him that you are struggling. If your aunt is now living with your dad maybe you could still work something out. Can your aunt pay anything? Perhaps she and her friend could share your apartment. Don't be embarrassed to ask your dad for advice.
As far as your mom, I am sure that still hurts even though you are used to her letting you down. She may "get it" eventually and you may have a better relationship one day. Until then, do not trust her when she comes up with these ideas.
Good luck sweetie and let us know what happens.

Maybe you should move back to your dad's house, until you find a much better job. Just show your mother that you can do it with or wihtout her. I am truly sorry about your mother. There is nothing you can really do about her because that is how she is. Let her realize her mistakes and just move on with your life. She'll come around, and if not atleast you still have your father that cares about you.

I would simply ask your mom why she isnt helping out anymore. Shes the one who brought it up in the first place. Why dont you live with your mom? And if your having a hard time getting by, ask your mom for help. She is probably waiting to hear from you. Maybe she wants to see how you do, without her help. Sometimes parents do some tricky stuff to watch and see what we do or are gonna do. Best of luck!
