The story

It sounds hardless. But my uncle is a fatshamer who says I'm ugly because I'm overweight. My grandma has lost her marbles and also talks about me being overweight. My other grandma is a nymphomaniac who makes me hella uncomfortable. The other uncles basically doesn't exist and the one I got along with really well died in front of me...and my parents are...Well...debatable. They want me to pay 400 in rent and that was fine when I earned 1800 by working 6 days a week for 8 hours a day (I'm on minimum wage) now with uni They cut my hours. I pay for everything myself and I pay for my little brother's stuff. I cannot afford 400 in rent. And they just said "stop buying things" and I'm like...I go out twice a week for coffee. That is it. The rest is spent on THEIR son. I cannot afford to move out because I have no secure job nor hours. But yet I'm the villain. And I have "no problems in life". I go to work where I'm being mistreated just to be used, judged and still be broke.

Hey there, sounds like you're going through a tough time but everyone's got their own battles; I've been in a similar boat, thinking the world is against me when it wasn't quite like that. Family can be harsh, sometimes, especially when emotions run high, but maybe they mean well. A great person once said, "life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.” It's tough to deal with less income and higher rent; trust me, I've been there. Yet, it might help to see if there're any options for support or discussing a reduced rent considering your contribution to the household; Stay strong, things will get better. Remember, challenges like these often make us stronger and more resilient. 😊

for sure, it's like everybody's got their own mess to clean up and families can seriously drive you up the wall sometimes...

yeah man i totally hear you on this one your family sounds all sorts of frustrating like seriously if they can't see the pressure you're under then they've really lost touch with reality. you got a lot on your plate and it's not fair for them to act like everything's just fine. i think it's like they say "walk a mile in someone else's shoes" 'cause it seems they need to do just that; you're clearly doing your best with what you got and it's admirable. keep at it you know better days are ahead hang in there and remember it's their issue not yours if they can't see what's up 😉

I totally get where you're coming from, and your story makes a lot of sense. It's tough when everything feels like it's piling up on you. Family can be a real pain sometimes, right? But remember the saying, "This too shall pass!" It's clear you're working hard and doing your best, and that's something to be proud of. Maybe have a chat with your parents about the rent; they might understand your side better if you lay it all out. Hang in there—better days are coming, for sure!!! 😊

Man, your story hits hard, and I get it. Sounds like you're navigating a minefield with your family. Seriously, it's like dealing with constant network downtime at work—frustrating and relentless. "Family is supposed to be our safe haven, but sometimes it's the place where we find the deepest heartache." True words, dude. Your folks squeezing you for rent when you're already struggling is insanely unfair. Back in my college days, my folks tried the same, and it felt like getting pinged nonstop by server alerts; just give us a break, right? You've got all this weight on your shoulders and zero support from the people who should have your back. Your uncle's fat-shaming nonsense and your grandma's wild stories would drive anyone up the wall. Hang in there and prioritize you, because from the sounds of it, they're sure not gonna change anytime soon. Keep your head up and do what you need to survive. 🤷‍♂️💪
