Late twenty year old PIMO Living at home and frustrated
I might not get any sympathy but I just wanted to air out my frustration.
I live with my mother. I used to have a job but waking up left me so mentally unstable for the last 5 years that I have been put on disability. I don't have much of a life. I just stay home. Recently I have gotten involved with my first guy. Now I realize that my 10 o clock curfew kinda sucks. I want it to be at 12 or 1. I think that is reasonable. My mom won't even let me stay at my friend from elementary School past 10 or she will drive to their house and remove me from the premises.
I offer to pay bills and rent and she refuses to take money from me.i do not get enough money to afford rent outside but I can spare a couple hundred dollars. She keeps all of my money. I have about 30,000 that she has in her name. I would like it back but I don't know how. She won't let me touch the money. She also polices how I spend my monthly check.
Lately I have been trying to expand my day to day activities and meet new people via Meetup and gym classes. I told my mom about this and she freaked out and called me stupid, naive, have no common sense etc. It makes me feel really small. She does this every time I come up with an idea to meet new people that are not JW. Also I come from a strict carribean background.
I've been trying to find a job to help me afford rent but I can't find anything. Not even at fast food places. I've been to tons of interviews yet I can't find anything. I just don't know what to do anymore. I hate living like this.
