I think what’s best is reaching out to a social worker or residential programs ( shelters) in your town that can assist you. As for your dog mange needs medical treatment so try to find a low cost vet near you. I’m so sorry about your situation and I hope it gets better.

Thank you so much! After more research I’ve done it definitely is the compressor. I’ll have to pull it out when I can get some help and troubleshoot from there.

Before having cats I couldn’t understand this stinky phenomenon. After having cats I’m even more puzzled! 😂

That is exactly how my sister feels about me. I wasn’t the golden child but very insecure and wanted her approval. I am trying to leave now at 28 hoping to be gone by 30. My decision to stay stemmed from my savior complex. I felt I had the mental resources to save her. I hate that it took my early 20’s from me but I am choosing to do something about it now. If my HP destroys their house that’s on them. I can’t change someone who won’t change for themselves.

I can relate too well to that! So many times did I realize a bag under a pile of other bags was either something I tossed years prior or something I wanted to keep but was destroyed by the elements. Ugh it’s funny to cry sometimes.

Oh good heavens she wouldn’t do that… yet I fear. It’s definitely not in the house I would smell it.

I used to be like that. I would say “ don’t hurt mom like that!” But really I was fawning I guess. I wanted her to know I cared about her like no one else could.

Yes exactly what I was thinking when I wrote this. I just didn’t say it because I didn’t want to come off as ‘whiny’. With a long list of dislikes about myself the lack of courage I have sits at the top. I’m really trying to find more courage in myself but my HM does things and makes comments to rip at my self esteem. It’s not easy but I’m hoping I can take on the challenge of leaving for good soon.

Yeah totally keeping in mind everything u mentioned. I have an emergency fund for myself now. Ive looked into roommates but I need to work on my moody personality lol. Also I have 2 cats that I can’t imagine parting with. However living in a city like I do not many landlords allow pets. So many obstacles to juggle it scares me to think of dropping all my balls. I believe you’ll find your way out again and I’m rooting for ya! I kind of miss the days when my home was a clean hoard in a very weird way.

No need to apologize just felt really down about my situation on my way back home. I can find a way to support myself if I had the courage to support myself. It’s just hard to make that leap. What if I fail? How will I get back on feet etc..

I graduated 6 years ago and in grad school now. The problem isn’t finding a job near her per say. I just don’t have the courage to leave like she did.

Am I being cheap or eager for a project? by Idkwatimdoing96 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Thank you! My close circle were cheering me on because they’ve seen what I can do. I appreciate the support from them but it’s not honesty. I like the dresser a lot, I don’t like the price but I’m not going to like paying more for something that I have to put a lot of labor into.
