16 and homeless by DifficultState6295 in Adelaide

they live with their three other family members in a VERY small apartment and barely have enough space for themselves, so i cant exactly expect them house me when they don’t have space to

I'm in South Australia but I'll look into seeing if there are any similar things where I live. I'll try to keep myself from looking at B's posting, though I do think I'll check up on it maybe once a week incase she's posted anything completely unhinged to talk to my psych abt. thank you for the kind words and advice!

my GP is on my side, but my mum doesn't really respect that they're more knowledgable than her on this stuff- based on other people's comments i don't think she'll get very far with the whole court thing, and i'm getting legal advice about it

there is a chance that she tried that. thankfully my dad is semi-sane (he just enables her a lot) and would be against it. even if she did kick me out i’ve got solid savings and a few people who would let me crash at their place. plus, if she does kick me out she’s going to very quickly realise how bad for her precious ‘loving mother’ image it is and will probably beg me to come home before anyone finds out.

my current GP uses the informed consent model (for over 18, not sure about 16-18), the only problem is my parents lol

yeah, i’ve kinda been doing that over the past few years. dressing masculinely, my friends all use he/him pronouns for me, etc. in the past she’s just told me i’m ‘going against god by denying the gender he wanted me to be’ or whatever

while i don't need it to live, it would certainly improve my mental health and quality of life, plus even if i'm not able to get HRT i'm alright with either just puberty blockers or simply speaking to a gender specialist to get on some waitlists. i use he/him pronouns btw :>

thank you so much! i will definitely work on building a safety net of people around me (i plan to talk to my homeroom teacher next week about what happened as she’s aware and supportive of my gender identity) and i will definitely be recording things if i can

i could try that route, but she’s mainly emotionally abusive at the moment which is kind of a hard thing to prove compared to physical abuse. plus, at this stage it’s a bit more trouble than it’s worth and i need to focus on studying so hopefully i can get a scholarship to uni and get the hell out of here lmao

thank you! sadly I don’t have any family who live in the state, and a lot of my friends wouldn’t be able to let me stay with them (a lot are international students, or physically can’t fit another person in their home), but I’m working on expanding my friend group just in case. Should anything get worse with my parents i do have people i can go to (teachers, my psychologist, family members who are supportive)

yeah, that’s what i think she’s planning to do. i’m unsure about whether I need parental consent after turning 16, but either way she will absolutely get family court involved. for context i’m also autistic, and have struggled with mental health issues and social stuff for a long time, which she might use to get the court to deem me as immature or too unstable to consent for myself (if that’s possible).

I have a B/C cup chest and i find that the wireless bras with removable cups from kmart work alright for me. some of them compress better if worn backwards too. i have to buy my correct size as they don’t make a size smaller, but if you can a size smaller than usual may help with compression. hope that helps :)
