20 y/o dependant
So I'm not homeless, just trying to get out of a bad living situation. My mother is emotionally and physically abusive, and she has Bipolar. I didn't want to leave the house since I have a younger brother and a dog that's in her name, but I really can't handle this anymore. She's exploiting the fact that I can't drive and don't have a job, which she prevented me from learning how to do. I thought I could last two more years here to get my nursing license, but it's impossible to attend college and do all she requires of me. I'm making each meal, responsible for each room, responsible for acing my nursing prerequisites, and responsible for my own food. She recently got a metro card, and now won't drive me anywhere due to her wanting me to use it. She uses transportation against me a lot, making me do chores suddenly in the morning when she knows I have classes to attend. I have a friend who might take me, but she already has a difficult life. What do I do? I found a youth center, but I'm terrified of getting raped or murdered. I know I probably sound spoiled to the older people here, but I'm really scared.
