I'm 21 yrs old and this semester i'm a full time student. I'm currently working at my job for 16 hours a week & only making $140. I was just recently kicked out of my father's apartment because he 'thought i broke the washing machine'. i know it sounds insane, but that's because it is. He's a rage-a-holic. I've delt with his temper for 6 mo. now and it's making me really depressed, and even coming in between me and my studies. He makes me cry uncontrolablly on a regular basis, keeping me from wanting to go to class.
So now i'm temporarily living with my mother whom i can't stay with (i was told by her i can't stay).
My dad has given me the choice of going back to his apartment, but deal with his mental abuse.
My other choice is to move with my friend into an apartment and drop all but one of my classes so i have time to work. BUT i'm out $1200 that i payed for tuition. However i wont have to worry about getting kicked out. I will return to school the following semester. Help please.

Sounds to me as if you have it already figured out. Move in with your friend and go to school the following semester. You stay with your abusive father you will fall into all sorts of ills; stress, depression, etc. Your mom does not want you to stay with her. Move in with your friend and hopefully things will work out for you.

Can't your mother let you stay just until the end of this semester? This will give you time to come up with another option and not lose money. There is no way I would go back to living with a rage - a- holic. Perhaps next semester you dont take as many classes so you can work and support yourself. Also see if you can move on campus. Speak to a school counselor and let them know about your predictiment. I have a cousin whose mother was making her babysit all the time and she never had time to study or concentrate and she went to the college counselor and they put her in a dorm. Take advantage of your school counselors and see what they can do for you. Good luck.

You should defentially stay in school because in the long-run, that is what will get you away from these problems. I'm in a similar fiancial situation as you, going to school full time and only working 16-20 hours a week. You don't need to be dealing with your fathers temper especially when you have your studies to deal with. Maybe you could posibbly get free room and board through the school because you could prove that your independent from your family and not making enough to cover room and board. Hope this helps and don't drop out even thoughi know it is tough

UGH that stinks... I agree that if possible look for somewhere else to stay just to finish the semester... then next semester take less credits (but don't quit altogether!) and work more hours so you can become more independant, or stay on campus. good luck!

I sympathize with you. I would check in to some sort of student housing, or housing for low income people. But never quit school, that is the key to your independence, and financial freedom from being dependent on any one.
