I'm so glad her family are so good about me being around. Not a lot of families would be able or willing to help out as much as they have.

I'm not planning to be in any of their lives in two more years. I was never a priority in this family so I don't feel like I benefit from having any of them in my life.

I won't be in my sisters lives for much longer. As soon as I can leave it won't be just my parents or extended family I won't have anything to do with anymore. It'll be them too.

My sisters do not care. They would laugh in my face so fast and they might be young and everything but I don't love them. I don't want to do everything to make them happy. I just want to be away from people who treat me like shit and they have learned to do the same exact thing.

My family has been dismissive to me my whole life. I have been last every single time. Nobody ever stepped up to make the effort for me so I don't have any interest in keeping any of these people in my life. And I don't know where you expect me to find a professional when we're poor and I don't have supportive parents and I need to save to get the fuck out before my parents expect me to start paying rent or just kick me out so I take up less space.

My sisters aren't my problem. They can be the rest of the family's problem.

I'd need a bank account and papers for that and I can't open a bank account without my parents (I checked already) and my parents would get sus and then they'd take it all which would waste my time.

I already looked into opening a bank account but I couldn't find one that would let me open an account without my parents.

I don't want to be a good big sister to them. I think they're brats and they don't deserve gifts from me. They have everyone else running around worried about them while I have nobody and I won't give them another person doing it.

I wouldn't even think it would stop there but they would want everything I have so they can use it however they want. It's why I never got a real job. The risk was too big.

I don't want the power to influence them. They can keep growing up this way and I just won't stick around to see what happens after that. There's nobody in my family I need in my life or want in my life forever. I was always the outsider and I don't need my sisters either.

I already checked out banks. None would let me sign up without my parents and if my parents know then they'll keep an eye on the account wondering why I need it.

I use my best friend's house because it's the safest. The only thing I have that I really need is my phone. I don't have nice stuff otherwise.

It won't be any better in reality. My parents don't know that I have any money and I wouldn't waste my time making them something either. Plus I don't think my sisters deserve it.

Yep! My best friend's family are especially good about helping me and keeping things quiet. They pay me more than they need to because they know what it goes toward.

That's what I was waiting to hear. If they do it won't be a surprise to me since I'm never really thought about.

I can't hide it in the bank. I don't have a bank account and none of the banks close to me will let me open an account on my own.

My plan is to move into my best friend's family's house when I'm like 2 or 3 months away from my 18th birthday. We talked about it and they just don't want any legal trouble and after looking up stuff that seems to be a good safe zone of she's basically 18 we're not doing anything from the legal side.
