Can I improve my plight?

[ShakeyD]

I have been feeling extremely anxious and depressed over the past few days. I got in a big argument with my mother and feel that it is finally time for me to move on. My dad let me hang out at his house while he's on vacation so things are slightly better, I'm sick of being berated over insignificant things. I feel really bad that is has come to this as my mother and I are taking care of my baby niece, and don't want to leave her. I'm terrified about being able to find a place to stay as I am only receiving social security benefits.. It's not much and so I hope i'll be able to find someplace to stay that's within my budget.

Hi ShakyD,

It sounds as though you might be making the right decision to giving yourselves some space if you and mum are not getting along, especially if there are children involved..

Stay strong, and good luck xx
