I'm in desperate need of moving out and finding a place to stay. I live with my Mother, who is incredibly abusive. My Mother is very mean, cold, controlling, and manipulative. She suffers from severe mental problems. She can get very paranoid and she feels that others, including myself, are against her. She also has a personality disorder. She can be very sweet and kind to others on the outside, but behind closed doors she is incredibly abusive mentally and emotionally. She doesn't trust me and she treats me like a slave and prisoner. She doesn't give me a key to the house, so it's very difficult for me to go in and out of the house. She insults me constantly and slanders me and defames me to people. She doesn't give me any privacy or respect my boundaries. She feels that I shouldn't have a cell phone or friends. My Mother has gone into my room and through my things behind my back and she's stolen things like money and personal mementos and pictures. She also leaves the lion's share of the work in the house for me to do, and in return she is completely ungrateful and disrespectful. In addition to this, there had been no running water or plumbing in the house for over 3 years. The house ended up getting yellow tagged by the city code enforcement. She has not been following through on getting the plumbing in the house fixed. There has also been an infestation of mice in the house. I pretty much have no choice but to move out. The problem is that I don't have any income. I have been helping my Mother with the family rental business, but she has never paid me for it. I've talked to her about it multiple times, but she never listens or values my opinions about anything. I feel really desperate at this point. I'm not going to be able to get an actual job until I leave and move out because my Mother will do everything to get in my way. I have no other choice but to leave. The problem is that I don't really have anywhere to go. Moving in with family or relatives isn't really an option because my Mother is my only surviving immediate family. I really don't want to end up out on the streets and homeless. I feel really stuck and trapped. I'm wondering if there is anyone who could offer me a room or a place to stay. I'm 32, I'm very kind and friendly and easy to get along with. I love animals and pets and I love the beach and music and many other activities. I don't have a car and I don't drive. I have some job skills, but they're somewhat minimal, though I could learn very quickly. I hope that there is someone out there who could help me out, because I really need help. Thank you.
