I’m so lost.

I have noone to talk to. I moved out from my alcohoclic mothers house and my dad moved to florida when he got out of prison. Im currently living with my aunt and uncle and the plan was to stay till May because im graduating early this year as a Junior from high school. But weve had no peace since ive been here. We all fight constantly and it even has turned physical. Im only 16 so i cant legally move out and mow dfs got involved so i could.. but they threatened to lock me up. So my aunt and uncle just informed me that theyve had enough and i have to move over christmas…. but if i do this.. i wont be able to graduate this year, go to the college i want to, keep my internship at the hospital, or keep my boyfriend.. which is the first guy i have ever trusted and loves me. Where do i go from here? Do i move and mess everything up… or stay in hell until i can graduate?

Can you talk to a counselor at school about it?

I would try to figure out your sources of conflict, where you seem to have the most issues with your Aunt/Uncle. Remember that to make progress, you have to make compromises. If things really dont work out, can you move in with your boyfriend? That could work until you can get on your feet. If that is not an option, there are teen aid agencies in most cities, I would try to find your local teen shelter and maybe stay there to let things cool off. If you can convince your Aunt/Uncle to keep their egos out of the fight, and if you can keep yours out too, you should be able to isolate the problems you are having. Sometimes perceived problems have very obvious causes which we are blind to because of the high stress. Try to stay strong.

You should move. You’ll definitely find another guy that loves you and appreciates you. You are still very young. You should talk to a counselor at school and see what kind of advice they can give you.

wow, sounds like a worth challenge you have there.

So if you can fins a way to stay you get
- to finish school
- keep a good job
- stay with a good man.

I’d say do what ever it takes to stay! I’d sleep in my car before giving up those things. What have you tried? What country you in?

Plenty people here to talk to :-)

Dear friend,

From various experiences and adversities faced I have learned some truths which are helping me face the world better than I was able to do previously. Hope the same will be true to you and try to imbibe these basics and minimize the pain you feel.

My Pain = Total Pain in the world / No. of living beings – My sacrifices + the pain caused by me – The abuse suffered + the hatred spread.

One can reduce his pain by

Supporting life – Every life supported will ensure that there is an additional being alive to share your share of pain. As life reduces due to global warming the remaining life on planet has to take a greater share of suffering. Just see the surrounding world and observe how much pain is there compared to a few years ago.

By not causing pain - There is already enough pain in the world one should not add to it by causing some more. Most pain is caused at home to ones own near & dear ones. We should be soft in speech with our children, neighbors, subordinates, colleagues etc. Remember any pain caused will increase our share.

By sacrificing – A sacrifice can be by giving up some pleasure, giving up a habit, giving up a desire, giving up a asset small or big tangible or intangible etc. Every sacrifice lowers your assets but increases your living energy just as a balloon sheds weight so it can rise higher. When life itself is threatened why do we cling to material processions?

Abuse suffered – Every abuse thrown at one is transfer of karmic merit from the thrower accept it with gratitude for it comes at no cost.

Hatred Spread – Remember every day waves of pain are racing towards you from 4 corners of the world to surround and drown you and your family. Shield yourself by sending out the waves of love understanding and sympathy to others. There is no other way. Inertness will drown us.

Every breadth we take is on a loan which has to be paid back. A good person suffers because he assumes his goodness will give him a free lunch. A bad man is guilty of his badness and compensates by trying to do some good deed. It is possible to sell our pain to others by helping someone, look for opportunity to contribute to the world so that you can sell your pain to others. Pain yourself so that your health improves with useful pain and other useless pains reduce.

I’d stay, but try to tone done the emotional and physical abuse if you can.
Try your best, like ignoring them..or perhaps you can just stay out of the house for as long as possible. But try to stay, those things are really hard to come by!!
A house, a good guy, internship, college!

Here ,hear to all the answers here so far.They could all be right or wrong.Your problem is caused by something.Perhaps their attitude,perhaps yours.Maybe they didnt want the responcibility to start with.But felt like they ought to.Or needed to.Are you staying out longer than their rules allow.Perhaps you answer a little harsher than they would like.Perhaps its all their problem .Whatever the reason.Find it,Work on IT. You dont have that much longer to be where you are.YOU, make it work if you want.YOU are stronger than YOU think you are.YOU, can make the difference.If not get the heck out.But dont lie to yourself,or you wont find the true answer.
