Need Help

[Negeen]

Parents have kicked me out and i'm not on disability... Need help.

[barny1]

Wow. Do you know where the nearest homeless shelter is?

Remember the rules of survival are: fire/warmth, shelter, water, food.

[RogerCMerriman]

um wow!

clearly you need to get somewhere to live.

do you still have your Job?

Started to write a longer reply and then realised that if you are now homeless as your post suggests then its doubtful you will read this anyway. I hope you have somewhere safe to go until you can figure out your next move.

As previous reply try a shelter or citizens advice type place until hopefully the dust settles. You need to stay safe Negeen, you can if no luck go to the police they may offer best advice if you tell them your story. Please be safe.

That sounds very harsh. Especially as you're one of us! Best of luck with finding somewhere to stay!

[Nks425]

So I agree find a SAFE place to stay! I am so sad your parents did this I can't imagine as a parent doing such a thing. Wish I was there to help you find some resources. Use everything out there to help you find a place you are in my prayers. Hugs - Niyani

WTF??? Are you serious?? Why the hell have they done that??

[B_S_A]

Come fly over here and stay at mine!!

[B_S_A]

How are we meant to contact her? There must be SOMETHING we can do??

[Hidden]

I was so shocked to hear this, hope you can find somewhere soon. Whether you are religious or not, most Churches will have good contacts if you have difficulty otherwise.

We're all here for you, hope you can keep in touch.

To Negeen's parents: SHAME ON YOU!

It is natural to be concerned for Negeen after her post but sadly this type of thing happens when you are part of an international online community and as distressing as it might be, we have no control over these things.

We cannot know what happened after Negeen posted, exactly what has been going on within her family life and what brought things to a head this time, so I doubt it is very helpful to apportion blame.We do not know what happened.

If Negeen sorts things out with her parents I am sure she will be glad to see her online friends here were concerned about her... but it may not be so nice for her to come back on here and find that her parents have been the targets of everyone's anger.

Until we hear from her it might be best if we keep sending positive thoughts her way.

[B_S_A]

Seriously, wishing her well is going to do jack ****, we need to do something, has anyone got an address or number??

EDIT: Apologies for the language, in retrospect it probably wasn't one of my better ideas.

[RogerCMerriman in reply to B_S_A]

quite possibly not, no one has my number/etc and probably doesn't have yours.

hopefully she is okay.

[B_S_A in reply to RogerCMerriman]

I have an address from when I sent her stuff...should be able to fund a number.

[RogerCMerriman in reply to B_S_A]

very easly then yes.

[iforget in reply to B_S_A]

No need to be rude.

If her parents kicked her out then she won't be at the address you have for her and any phone number you may be able to locate will be linked to the address which is her parents home. Calling them would be intrusive and inappropriate no matter how concerned you might be.

[B_S_A in reply to iforget]

Sorry for the language! Was a little angry at the time.

[iforget in reply to B_S_A]

Yep...I guessed.

[barny1]

When I first read this post, I must admit, I found it too ridiculous to be true and I still do. If she really wanted help, she could have divulged more information about her circumstances. As it is, there's only so much you can say to her one-liner. I'm not sure what she was expecting her 'online friends' to do? As anonymous as we are, we are powerless to change anything. If her parents really kicked her out, they are heartless even if right and I hope she's safe and well wherever she is.

[iforget in reply to barny1]

It is really hard for us to know what is really going on in another's life...even without the anonymity of the internet and the potential distance in miles.

From what she said she had a job and she had other family besides her parents. I agree the one liner followed by silence was pretty much sure to raise concern.

I too hope she is safe and well.
