Look, I know people don’t like “I need $ to get out of a toxic household” posts, but I’m making a new one for this campaign (now extended to the end of the year) i have going to get me out at least for a little while…
From the page itself because just the original post doesn’t seem to work on its own:
Hooray for unintentionally misleading titles, but anyway… So, I’ve got a lot of shit going on in my personal life right now, mostly family issues. For the past several years, the whole thing has been taking a huge toll on my mental health.
My mom's been sick, and all of the doctors and specialists she's gone to see haven't come up with any ideas as to what's wrong with her. I'm pretty much her primary caregiver right now. On a bad day, my dad gets verbally abusive when my mom and I both beg him to do more than the bare minimum to help. On a slightly better day, it's like pulling feet trying to get him to help. I will admit there are some stretches where he does help with no problems. My younger sister was somehow allowed to go running around the world for a year before she transferred from a university here in the US to one up in Canada (pre-COVID with money my family can't afford to spend (she's always gotten basically anything she wanted her whole life, and I'm the one who gets told "no, we don't have the money" or just straight up "no" most often). When she is around, she doesn't give a shit how miserable things are at home because a) I'm pretty sure my dad refuses to tell her exactly how much my mom's health has declined, and b) she gets verbally abusive, too, whenever my mom and I try to explain.
On top of all that, getting a job at a used book store was hard enough with autism, and getting a new job in the almost 7 years since my last one went out of business has been harder, so I’m kinda financially screwed right now.
My family life and mental health are getting worse, and I really need money to get out of the house for some sort of short vacation, since right now, getting out completely is out of the picture.
The holiday season is coming really soon, and I’d love it if I can get someone to support this between now and the end of December… I’m beyond desperate at this point…
Oh, right. I set the campaign to “ongoing until I get to the goal.”
Things have calmed down with my dad, but everything else about this still stands.
