You Can't Go Home And Sometimes, You Don't Even Have To Leave.

A personal story in the experience: I Feel Helpless
M y life has changed a lot in the past year.  My mom divorced her husband of nearly a decade, threw herself into dating and then moved in her boyfriend after knowing him less than three months.  I held the family together while she was busy looking for love and now, though I'd never say it to her, I HATE her boyfriend.  I've never hated anyone in my life and now the first person ever is someone I live with.  I'm old enough to live on my own, which is what we all want at this point, but I can't afford it and full-time jobs with reasonable pay aren't exactly in abundance at the moment.  I feel helpless because I'm trapped in a place where a man I hardly know is allowed to throw my shortcomings in my face and twist them into greater, more deliberate faults.

Hi there,
What a horrible situation to be in,..... i am not sure as to what the whole situation is but does your mother not see how desperately un-happy you are?
You should be her first priority, however if you would like to talk ( or if indeed you are searching for a new & GENUINE friend then that is great too), please feel free to contact me.
Take care & maybe i'll hear from you soon.
