Hello geselle, I'm so sorry you are feeling down and out due to the actions of others. May you know that God is there beside you...and He wants to bring joy to you through all the hurt you may be feeling. My prayers are with you.

Take care and God Bless

Awww, hugs.

slave, salve, slave
then when i decided not to do anything i get yelled at
yesterday i came home i was so tired i just got something to eat and went to bed, i wasn't home all day the house was a mess but i was really tired i said i would just take a nap and then get up and clean up.... i didnt get up until this morning had no idea i was that tired. only to wake up this morning to yelling and screming at me for not cleaning up the mess i didn't make. i don't like people yelling at me, now i think i should have done it no matter how tired i was. my day is totally messed up.. (stay postive geselle, stay positive). i am helping around the house everyday but me helping just seem like not enough, i understand you live there you need to help too but man when you do verything i get tired and if i don't do this is what happens... im glad she not physical anymore but i can not take the yelling... next time i'll just do it.....
i have been trying not to get anyone upset and i am like walking on eggshells for the pass two years trying to be perfect for them what ever they say to do, i do it no questions ask no comments just do, so far so good until yesterday...

Thanks for listening

Just be patient...don't let the yelling shake you...you can't change the actions of others...but what you can change is your reaction...make a decision that you will not let their actions take away your joy...no matter what...and then seek the comforting presence of Jesus and let Him sustain you through and through.

It's gonna all be alright hun.

Take care and God Bless

Hang in there sis....
Like mlg said you can not change their actions but you can control your reaction. As my mom used to say....Kill em with kindness even tho you didn't make the mess. Just smile and say yes ma'am and no ma'am and what their actions begin to change.

You might make a chart showing the pros and cons of living there. And you also might see the financial aid office and see what you might qualify for in terms of loans in order to live at school - that one or another one. Be sure and let them know anything that might be helpful. There are special scholarships and grants for people who's parents did this or that, for children who were foster kids - lots of different things. Investigate your choices. God doesn't want you to be mistreated - at least not long term. Sometimes troubles are there to teach us - but sometimes we are in them because we haven't noticed the door out.

Just wanted to hug you
