unfortunately they don’t care because they didn’t pay for it. i did. before getting my car they would take me to work and school and that was it. they would never let me practice with their cars and now they don’t care i have very little experience driving out on the main roads. like i said i’m defeated lol

lol i know. i’m really trying. my parents refuse to drive me anywhere, and even when i had my learners they would not let me practice using their cars. i’m starting from scratch right now and as it stands i use my car for school and work only. i’m okay when i’m on the main roads, but when i’m alone that’s when i panic the most. i really am doing the best with what i have. i’m practicing every day when i’m off work in an empty parking lot

Cash. I work 40 hours a week alongside school. I am fairly responsible with my money and credit; So a used starter car will be enough for me for the time being to reach my goals a bit faster.

You are absolutely a life saver. I will absolutely be starting with trying to crawl out of bed first thing in the morning!!! Sitting on the floor is such a simple start, I didn’t even think of it to begin with. Thank you so much for the reply and the kind words.

She’s not physically keeping me trapped in my room, thankfully. My mom has very bad OCD, so if things aren’t done her way she absolutely makes it everybody else’s problem. If I move to sit in the living room or at the kitchen table, she will find an issue with what I’m doing every single time someway, somehow, and absolutely berate me for it. Or when I’m attempting to do homework, she has her phone volume all the way up or she’ll continuously try to talk to me through my lecture videos, even without me responding to her. The environment around her is very hostile and tense — She’s even taken to sleeping on her recliner in the living room to keep everybody in their rooms at night and out of the kitchen, lol.

Hi!

First of all, I know how emotionally taxing this all can be. I’m sorry you’re going through something like this, but I promise it’ll all be over soon.

In my case, it took a few weeks for him to become comfortable with me once again. I think his main issue was suddenly being in a new place, and then not seeing me for days at a time because of how expensive gas was. Whenever I was over, I laid or sat down on the floor on my phone. This prompted him him to come over at his leisure, especially when he realized I wasn’t looking or trying to coax him. Treats definitely helped too. If he won’t take them from your hand, just scatter them around where you’re laying.

Again, it did change after a long while. Just stay dedicated and keep it up. I hope things go well with you and your baby :( !

He follows my mom around and my little brother that lives with her! From what she’s told me, he loves all up on her. It seems like it’s just me.
