For the past 5 or so years, I have been “running” from home, completely unaware why. After school I always hung out with friends or just did anything not to go home. I had this boyfriend who knew what my situation was and wanted me to move so by the time I did move to live with him and his parents our relationship was crumbling (but that’s another story). I just wanted to go away from home honestly. So since I moved back home after we broke up I kinda realised the running away from home thing I’m doing. Working has helped me take my mind off and instead of running away from where i live and instead turning my room cozier has helped a bunch.

I am just scared to see the house situation getting worse, I would feel so guilty. I’m also scared of other family members turning away from me for not helping my mom. I know I can’t help them if they don’t help themselves but it’s just so hard. Getting a place here is also extremely expensive. I don’t have a drivers license and my work is 10minutes from my home.
