Important Life Updates

Ah yes, nothing better to celebrate my 21st birthday with like a shit ton of stress, right?

As many of my friends know, my current living situation is shit. For those of you that don't, here's the rundown: My parents are physically and verbally abusive and have caused me to have clinical depression and severe anxiety, both of which they refuse to allow me to get help for and claim it's all in my head. They have also threatened to get me fired from work for increasingly petty and selfish reasons. My mom is actually pissed that I'm working more hours and yet complains that I'm "stupid" and "worthless", and never does anything productive. Despite this, my entire family tree sides with them since a lot of my dad's side of the family (who funny enough is the bigger evil) shares his fucked up morals and then some. Even my sister who went through the same abuse tells me to just get over it since they're not that bad.

So why am I telling you guys this?
Because I'm going to do the unthinkable.

I'm going to move out.

I've already made arrangements with someone from work to move into a spare room they have this Sunday. They have Wi-Fi so if everything goes smoothly, I won't be gone too long. And if it doesn't? Well, I'll see if I can get a Wi-Fi signal while six feet under. My parents have become more and more controlling every day to the point where my dad tries to look through my phone and my mom screams at me for showing any negative emotion on Facebook. I'm not allowed to be depressed or angry around them, and I'm sick of my emotions being policed and I'm especially sick of the abuse. So now I'm going to do something I should have done four years ago.

Of course there's going to be a catch:
-My new place doesn't allow pets. So I'll have to give Harry away
-My car is having payments made by my dad, so unless I can somehow get the money for a driver's license in three days (which is impossible because he took most of my money beforehand) and have it transferred to my name, I'll have to abandon it unless I want him to report the car as "stolen". Knowing my dad, he's going to sell or destroy it out of spite
-Once again, my entire family will side with my parents. They're all going to hate me once I move out and reveal the truth. But whatever. My family is cancer anyways
-Gonna be on my own from here on out. The person I'm staying with and their family is willing to help more than my parents, but I'm not sure to what degree. Either way, a fast food employee with no significant skills living in his own place. This will surely end well!

On the bright side I'm legally an adult so my parents can't really force me back. Not that it will stop them from trying since they still want control over me. We all know my parents will come after me at work. My coworkers are even anticipating it. But if all goes well I'll have so much weight off my back I'll be a god damn feather. I might even get over my depression and anxiety. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Personally, I'm feeling extremely hopeless for this and the future in general.

So yeah, just letting you know what's up, and just in case I ever disappear off the face of the Earth.

Happy birthday to me.
