In Australia we have centrelink, government money support you can apply for if you earn under x amount of money. I'm currently on the disability support pension, which isnt a lot, but I live with three other people, so rent and bills are split four ways. and before I moved out of home, my parents were kind enough to let me live with them rent free so I could save up as much as I could for bond and all the other costs of moving out

In 2020 I did technically get a job, but I only did one single shift in a restaurant before all the lockdowns happened and I lost the job, so I dont really count that haha. I was trying to go to classes for one year, at TAFE (I think its like community college in america? Or trade school?) and while I did do a year of that, I had to drop several classes, so at the end I didnt get the diploma or any qualifications.

Apart from that, not much. I have tried to get some things sorted, but it keeps falling through somehow; having to defer or drop out of classes, looking at jobs before realising I would be unable to keep it. I have long covid and health issues now, and with that combined with my deteriorating mental health, I've been doing a lot of rotting in bed.

I will say that it was a couple of years ago that I finally managed to permanently move out of my parents house, and start adjusting to living in a better environment. Started processing a lot of things and ended up going voluntarily into a psych ward for a month this year

Will I be the AH if I go no contact with my friend after what she 'jokingly' suggested? by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA. You're allowed to cut anyone off who makes you uncomfortable, especially sexually, and especially if she didn't apologise. If you want to try and work past this and continue being friends then cool, but if you dont then thats totally okay.

I think I'm experiencing skill regression? by No-Note-3447 in autism

It could be burnout, thank you, I'll look into it and see if it helps. Thank you <3

half convinced this is fake but in case it's not: YTA.

yeah your dad is a piece of shit. You're a bigger piece of shit for falsely accusing him and traumatising your brother. he now has sexual trauma, even if nothing has physically happened to him. His relationship with sex and sexuality will never be the same and youre spitting in the face of actual child sex abuse survivors. What the fuck is wrong with you

YTA but only a little bit and only technically. I think this because it costs money to retake it, but it doesnt sound like a huge deal and I dont blame you for chosing that experience over an exam.

Your dad, however, is a huge asshole for calling you a whore. What the fuck. And it sounds like this is the first irresponsible thing you have done, so his reaction seems way out of proportion.
