Hey everyone, I realise I’ve been gone a while but I’ve been going through a lot. So I finally got to move in to my place (Its supported housing, so there are staff there quite literally 24/7) little over a week ago, after my Mum (who kept giving mixed signals in regards to me moving out,even though it was her idea originally and she was the one who put in the referral to begin with, but it was stopped because my Dad said, although I didn’t know he did at the time, wait until he’s 18 and then wouldn’t give reasons why) and then I came into college and told someone about the resentment I have toward my parents and she then recommended I talk to a support worker. I told the support worker what I’d told someone at college and they asked me to try the supported housing agency again, and the second time, after telling the staff there about the situation with my parents,had a property to move into within the week. Before I moved in, I wanted my Mum to come and see the property. I came with a staff member to my parents house (without their knowledge to their defense, even though I don’t know why I’m still defending them) and my Mum conveniently remembered that she wanted me to have 24H staff at hand and I then had to wait another week to get the property I’m living in now. My parents also took the piss opening my bank account (I’m almost 18 and I’ve been told maybe 15 times now that I can open it by myself, but in my Dad’s world, he is right and everyone else, including someone who works at the bank for fuck’s sake, is wrong, so I had to miss a lesson and in the end all he did was enter his PIN) and now I have no money because I have to claim in one support because I live by myself and I’m in full time education, and I can’t get any additional money until I prove I’m on income aupport, which I’m not having a meeting about until Thursday. My parents then complained that there wasn’t enough food in the food packets I’m getting from the staff there, even though they are wholly responsible for me having to rely on these good packets for not allowing me to open my bank account myself. So yesterday one of the staff asked me to get my birth certificate from my Dad, and not only did he not give me it, he said “What do you think me and your mother are?” And slammed the door in my face. My Mum currently seems to be ignoring my messages, and to be honest, good riddance to the both of them, I wish the relationship would have ended on my terms but this works too. It feels very surreal because I’ve waited for this to happen for years and it finally had. But that has been what has happened over the past few months
