Yet Another Fundraising Post
Hi, I’m Miles. You might have seen me around on the internet. For lack of a better option, I’ve turned to my last resort.
The Situation
I’m currently living with my dad. The issue however though is that I need to move out at the end of the year. I’m not being directly forced, however, my dad has become a lot more aggressive and physically violent after his stroke last year. I don’t feel safe living here right now with the current situation. He has also been preventing me from seeking appropriate medical care for some of my issues, both physical and mental.
I suffer from diagnosed schizophrenia, and was on medication as well as heading towards a path of recovery when he suddenly refused to keep taking me to go to my psychiatrist appointments. I currently can’t drive because of my aforementioned condition. It’s extremely disabling and effects how well I can care for myself as well as what I am able to do. Because of this, I am unable to sustain a job or attempt to go to my psychological appointments by myself, as I am financially dependent on him. Even worse, we lost our health insurance a little while after he stopped taking me to my appointments. I haven’t been to a doctor in a little under a year, and he’s been withholding from putting aside money so I can go even when I desperately need to.
Thus, I’m turning to my only method of escape. It really pains me to do this, but I see no other way out of the place I’m in. More details under the cut.
