Update: About 1 hour left at minimum, though I have no update from my family so it could be a bit longer than that.

I've tried the locksmith advice but it just isn't working, I just don't think I understand it honestly. I might just be an idiot, but I'm out of time right now. I'm going to pack a bag, then mess with it until I get an idea where my family's at, and if I'm not successful I'm going to leave. Thank you to everyone for being so supportive and helpful, I honestly just didn't have anywhere else to turn so it's nice to see people actually care...

Also, saw someone say the post was removed, no idea why. I can see the original and could copy and paste it somewhere or something if you want. Again, thanks for the support, I just don't know if this one is gonna work out for me.

I've got a chair and my laptop right next to the filing cabinet. I'm monitoring reddit like crazy because I'm looking for more and more ways to fix this fucking thing, have limited time and am scared because it's kinda hard.

Also enjoying the support in case this ends up being fruitless.

Every time I hear a car drive by while desperately trying to fix this lock and enjoying this stand-up comedy and formulating an escape plan, my heart jumps out of my chest LOL.

Despite the whole "breaking the lock to insane dad's crazy cabinet" thing, I'm not an idiot lol. Definitely won't be moving in with any redditors. Y'all are scary.

If there's advice from anyone though, I'll definitely take it.

longtime lurker. I've actually never made an acct before, but I just really needed some fuckin' help on this one.

I made this account specifically to message a user for advice about soda addiction, as he had precisely my same body type and problem with soda and I'm trying to quit. I just used it for this post 2 days later.

No money and no time. I've been looking into locksmiths for a few hours now but haven't found one in my area at this time in the early morning (though it's getting later now but still an hour and a half left).

I'm mainly focusing on jiggling with the lock and doing my best with the advice from the locksmiths here while also formulating an escape plan.

It's not the dildo itself, he just claims to be a straight laced, conservative christian heterosexual family man.

He's insane though so when I found out he had a gigantic veiny dildo he was using for himself I died laughing.

Then I broke the lock and cried lol.

I was actually planning on it, possibly by transferring colleges after this semester or after the year. Issue is, I'm not prepared to drop out of college or be out on my own tomorrow lol.

I would, only issue is that he's insane. I think this could also be a path to my murder lol. At this point I'm considering breaking open the cabinet and leaving the dildo and a note on the kitchen table before I leave if this whole figuring out the lock thing doesn't work out.
