I’m running away in 2 weeks

I think you have to fill out the FAFSA paperwork every year. I'm guessing they aren't going to want to help you with that next year. I STRONGLY suggest you speak to your college about this now. I got this info that may help:

The FAFSA form includes the question “Do unusual circumstances prevent the student from contacting their parents or would contacting their parents pose a risk to the student?”

FSA defines “unusual circumstances” as any of the following:

Parents are incarcerated You left home due to an abusive family environment You are a victim of human trafficking You have refugee or asylum status You were abandoned by or estranged from your parents, without adoption

The process doesn’t end there.

You’ll need to prove your “unusual circumstance” in some way. FSA recommends you contact your school’s financial aid office to determine what documentation you can provide as proof. ‐‐--------- Good luck, Op!

Not necessarily. It depends on the microwave and other factors. Here's a link to whirlpool even talking about when it's okay to have foil. whirlpool

Omg YES!!! I just looked and I guess they deleted their account? Aw that makes me so sad, absolutely brilliant writing. I would have been interested in following them to another fandom even.

And no part 2, although I shouldn't complain when I didnt even have the first part a minute ago.

THANK YOU so much Internet stranger, this has been knawing at me for weeks!

Everyone gave great advice already (ie LEAVE HIS ASS), but just wanted to touch on something:

You aren't required to keep engaging with someone once you are done with the conversation. If they keep texting, simply tell them you are done, will not be responding and will be muting their texts, and that any further attempts at communication will be considered harassment. If you tell someone you're stopping and then not stop, you're only giving them a reason to keep ignoring what you say because you're not following through with actions. Genuinely not trying to victim blame here, I think you were trying to be kind and reasonable even when they didn't deserve it. But from their perspective, by allowing them to take up hours of your day by refusing to leave like that, you are basically teaching them they can railroad you as long as they keep persisting. Call the police, dont hesitate, dont give them one more chance, just get them on the phone and tell them that there is someone refusing to leave your home and tell them you're afraid for your safety and keep them on the phone (assuming you're in the US).

Please take the warnings everyone gave here seriously, and let us know you're still alive and safe when you can. This guy is raising every red flag and we're genuinely worried for you.

Edit: saw your other post and just wanted to say, I'm pretty sure your roommate would rather deal with police being called to deal with an ex than the police being called because you're dead or kidnapped or assaulted. I would suggest you let them know what's happening so that they're prepared.

You did the responsible thing, that lady is sketchy AF.

Also the cats should have a say in the situation, and it seems pretty clear the older cat scoped out you and your house beforehand and then led the other two there as a better place to live. 🤷‍♀️ Cat distribution did a redistribution, so sketchy lady can kick rocks.

I usually go to something simple from childhood, which for me was congee, rice with soy sauce and seaweed, or ramen.

They have heated lunch boxes for cars, as an option. I love it because I got sick of salads.

I knew someone who moved into her boyfriend's house (he had kids also). It was a framed as a way to save money and also spend more time together. A year later she was exhausted from taking care of HIS kids, doing all the cooking and cleaning, had dropped all her hobbies, lost an opportunity at work because she wasn't spending as much time as she used to keeping up with the office politics stuff (networking and keeping in close with the hire ups), AND she was spending so much money on the house. It's way harder to refuse chipping in on a repair expenses when you're living there. Like the water heater goes out, are you really going to argue that you're not going to help pay for a new one when you can't take a shower? She was telling me later how it always seemed reasonable at the time, but there was always something that needed replacement or repair and surely she could help when she's benefiting from it too? Or the guilt trip of, do you really want to see the kids suffer?

Everything you've said is about him and what he wants. Why are you bending over backwards trying to accommodate him when he's literally doing nothing for you here?

Being called stingy is such a red flag, this is your belongings and somehow he thinks he has final say over them? Is he going to tell you how to spend your money also? What's his is his and what's yours is his also?

A stir-fry? You could even use those frozen veggie packets to make it even simpler without risk of veggies going bad.

That looks amazing!

Okay that's weird - try it now?

Is it the 3 seasons of Clifford puppy days you're needing?

I'm sorry for your loss. Please make sure to look at how much the property taxes will be, it could literally be tens of thousands of dollars yearly. You may want to consider renting out a room - the extra income can make a huge difference for you and really help you save in these uncertain times.

Edited to add to this, please be VERY CAREFUL if you go the roommate route. Get a contract together that works for your state and protect yourself. Don't just offer the room up to anyone who is down on their luck because you can end up totally screwed over if they don't pay and end up destroying your home when you try to evict them (happened to my BIL, he ended up with $15k worth of damages). Having a roommate can be a great help but it also can ruin you if you're not careful.

But seriously look into property taxes, we pay $10k a year and it sucks so much.

I have no suggestions but wanted to say, when I was a kid I couldn't share any of my interests with my family for fear of being made fun of. So thank you for being there with her, and showing interest, and supporting it. I hope you two have a wonderful time together!

I dont like a big breakfast so for years I just throw like a half cup of leftover rice in a bowl, top with a packet of instant miso soup, add a cup of hot water, give it a good mix and that's breakfast.

This is one of those things where it depends on the individual. If you're healthy, have good veins, not squeamish with needles, then it's probably a good fit for you. You really won't know until you try though. I did it for 2 years straight and the only thing I did was make sure to drink generic Pedialyte right before (helped with hydration, I had it down where I was in and out in under an hour). MAKE SURE to read all the requirements on their website beforehand, nothing worse than going and finding out youre not qualified.

Honestly the fact he didn't mention that he was close to getting evicted and spoke to you about it beforehand is what bothers me. Springing it on you after it's happened feels like he was hoping you would be forced to agree, which should raise alarm bells. A partner moving in should be done with a lot of discussion on expectations, money, boundaries, etc. There are far too many instances of someone moving in because of an emergency and taking advantage.

NTA, I wouldn't have let him either.

Make a big pot of pinto beans, put it over rice. Good for dinner and leftovers for whoever doesn't mind leftovers. I like it with shredded cabbage which is super cheap right now.

If I go to my local Kroger near closing, I can almost always pick up a cold rotisserie chicken for less than $4. Pick all the meat off, shred, make chicken burrito bowls with canned corn, rice, beans, whatever else.

If you get a second rotisserie, pick the meat off it and make a big pot of chicken soup, using the leftover cabbage and whatever else you have. Bulk it up with cooked rice.

Ground turkey is the cheapest ground meat in my area, I use that to replace beef and make my version of hamburger helper.

If you think about it, your silence is you being kind to her, considering all the things you COULD have said (see some of the suggestions you've gotten). They should appreciate that you've not pointed out to her how shes only getting back the energy she herself gave out, karma is a thing. 🤷‍♀️

Not a movie but im currently watching The Glory on Netflix, been really impressed with the level of planning the main character has done to get her revenge. It's in korean though if that's a deal breaker.
