It's a miracle I graduated highschool with the trouble in my life.

What sucks though is that I live half an hour away from my hometown (where I'm staying currently), where I have to take an hour and a half bus to my school. And my bus stop is a 40 minute walk from my house, which means I'll have to get up super fucking early to get on my bus, in the freezing Canadian winters just to make it to school where I'm failing half my courses. Fuck.

avoid family is my credo.

That's been my goal for a long time. I don't get along with these people very much but I don't have very many options left.

uhh You gonna be alright?

Hopefully. I know enough people here that could take me in, and honestly I'm just glad to be away from my parents.

And if I end up living on the street eventually I'll just blow my brains out, which is something I've wanted to do for a long time.

So really it's a win-win type of scenario.

Get really close with a friend or two who are having similar troubles and convince them to be your roommate.

Show no loyalty to your job because for the most part a diverse resume looks good. If you see an opportunity to make more money elsewhere, take it.

no, i got him a few weeks ago. probably one of the things that pissed my 'rents off, tbh

but yeah, i ~~have~~ had 3 dogs, but DD (the one in the picture) is the only one small enough to fit in my friend's car. the other two are still at my parents house

i'm in no position to take car of a cockapoo and a golden doodle, tho

Well the catalyst was that I wouldn't go out to buy dog food.

Oh. Then yeah, I have a ton of stupid fucking stories about shit like that. An alcoholic Porkchop father will do that to you lol

like one time he straight up punched me in the face for unplugging the microwave. i had just learned about the environment and how unplugging appliances can lower your electricity bills and stuff at school.

No, I wouldn't feel right taking people's money like that. I'm not a charity case. I'm a smart enough guy, I'm sure I'll land on my feet eventually.

so what the fuck did you do or say to cause such a rash outcome?

Honestly, I don't know. The only thing I know for sure is that my relationship has been steadily declining with my parents over the last ~3 years or so. I've never really liked them (they're not very nice people), but I always sort of kept to myself and didn't instigate. I was never disrespectful but I never lied to them either, and I think my honesty started to piss them off. I don't mean that I'd routinely be like "Hey, you look like shit." But they'd be like, "Hey, how was your day?" And I'd reply, "Shit, as per usual." or something like that. I've been depressed for years and I didn't know that I had to lie to my parents about shit like that. I'm supposed to be the most honest with them, right?

I dunno. Maybe they felt helpless but my negativity apparently took a toll on them. In all honesty, I'm in better spirits than I thought I'd be. Most of this is probably not as coherent as I'd like but my emotions are still high right now so I apologise for that.

Don't worry about it; you've got more important things to focus on atm.

Indeed. Diamond Dog = DD

Originally his name was "gremlin" but his previous owners were polish assholes so I renamed him.

Ask some of the others on this forum that have landed in a similar situation to yours, Nuka would probably be willing to give you some advice on the subject.
