I am a young adult who is currently at home with their parents. Unfortunately my situation involves living who those who constitute anger at the drop of a hat. I deal with people who have both anger management and control issues, and at some points it's unbearable. It could be something very, very minor and inferior and the entire house can go in a uproar. Speaking as a reasonable adult does not work, as rage-flights can break over situations as meager as "have you seen my wallet?". I feel trap having to bear the onslaught screams and yells of those who are stubborn even when they are in the wrong(such as common sense being thrown to the wind), that believe, because they are my "parents" they are God's Head above my life and can scream and yell at me such as an disagreement that normal people wouldn't react harshly to. It did not help when this person had terrible drug-reactions, which made living here literally like walking on egg-shells(it was absolutely horrible, as their anger would shoot through the roof in an instant). Sometimes I am literally pulled in-between the scream contests between the parents myself. They are at home 24/7, which literally offers NO relief when people walk around easily with chips on their shoulders.
I do not drive, which makes it harder to get away from this environment. Even more so working a job that doesn't pay enough to support independence. I have attempted to pick up a few driving classes, but most of them take a good chunk out of my paycheck (nearly all of it for one class). I have been applying for jobs since 2007 and all have returned void. I have continued to apply for jobs, and even went to school for 3 months until I was forced to drop out. I am still applying to jobs to this day.
I am tired of living in this toxic, controlling environment where people literally think they own your future, where I am taunted of "get out" and thus being homeless, and they know this. They have almost lost their own home, and now their trying to pull the same thing on me. I am not going to have the future I have tried to work hard for be ruined so easily by individuals focusing upon selfish behavior supplied by ignorance, lack of common sense, and emotional strife. I have been forced to sign home-made contracts where I can be "fined" at will by them, as I have no other choice of living space, where they can add as much penalty/change as possible to suit their fancies. I have barely enough money to supply for myself, let alone provide my own food or even clothes.
I am sick and tired of living with hot-heads for a place to stay, where even a normal conversation is a problem. The more independent I am, the better off I will be to get away from these anchors, and to be around people who will be more supportive and concern for my success in life than staying cooped in in their home 24/7 and taking it out on everyone else. These same people have chased any chance of relationships/friends away, I cannot see myself having a relationship and being subjected under their scrutiny.
Thanks to Obama I am a high-school graduate that is nearly "broke" in terms of money. Thank you, Mr. Obama, for taking our jobs, education, and freedom away. | |
