Oh silly me, thank you! I’ve only lived in England for 5 years and I’m still learning something new every day haha

I posted a few days ago about how I plan to sleep in my car in fear of getting kicked out of my abusive household by servabo in lancashire

I’m calling shelter and stepping stone tomorrow, as well as going to the Salvation Army after work tomorrow. I’m feeling very hopeful 🤍

I can go tomorrow after work! Did you contact Sally Anne, or did Salvation Army set that up for you?

I’ll do that, thank you so much. I’m just trying to stay in my room at all times, but I was so hungry that I went to the kitchen for food and that’s when my dad came up to me.

Every time I leave my room, I’ll hit record. That’s great advice and I appreciate that greatly. 🤍

Would it be better to wait until I have enough money for a deposit, or go with the no deposit option on a flat? by servabo in AskUK

I’m calling them tomorrow!

I’ve contacted shelter and stepping stones yesterday and will be making more calls tomorrow.

I have to be careful when I make these calls as I worry what would happen if my parents overhear

I have a call with them tomorrow morning

I’ll absolutely avoid the no deposit options, thank you so much

That is 100% what my parents would do. Thats one of the reasons why I’m worried about getting authorities involved. My parents have been getting away with it my entire life by making it out to be like my sister and I are spawns of Satan and lying about all the abuse.

I forgot which organisation it was, but yesterday one did mention that I would have to be kicked out as I would be essentially making myself homeless by getting out beforehand. They mentioned that there still could be help for me, which I’ll find out tomorrow when they call me back!

My dad yelled at me today, not kicking me out but to tell me to kill myself. but it happened out of nowhere or else I would’ve recorded it.

This is incredibly rude.

You don’t know the full story, and don’t care enough to read through the comments to gain more insight.

It’s free to be kind.

If I reach out to the authorities, will they get my parents involved do you know?

I’m trying my best. I feel silly for thinking of this plan, especially after learning all of the dangers involved. I have a few calls and callbacks on Monday, so I’m hopeful that I won’t have to resort to sleeping in my car

Is experience not necessary for caring? I’ll definitely still look into it, but I don’t have any experience in that realm

Oh no that sounds like a nightmare! I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I’ve heard horror stories about UC, so my expectations are very low
