I Can't Wait To Leave Home

I'm usually not one of those people who write things like this. But honestly I can't wait to go off to college. I'm tired of trying to make my mom be happy. I'm tired of my piece of crap stepfather who just sucks at life. He takes advantage of my mom, expects her to do everything. He uses her car, because he crashed his first one, and got his second one repossessed. Many of the bad things in our life happens because of him. He gets behind on a Payday loan and can't pay rent, guess who has to? My mom, my sister, and myself. My mother pays all other bills (car note, electric, cable, groceries). He stresses her out. My mom can't leave him, because he pays the rent and she doesn't make enough herself. But at the same time my mom thinks he will change. It's been 7 years, I don't think so... My mom is the one that deserves to walk away, but I can't wait to myself. I try to tell my mom how she can save money, what she can do to not be so stressed. She doesn't listen to me. I try to do things to make her happy. It doesn't help. I just can't wait to be away from the toxic place I call home. It's been going on for too long. For two years I had been working my butt off to help out at home, that money didn't go anywhere really. It could have been money saved, but it was mostly used to get us out of trouble, like the rent being behind, or the car note, or the cable. I had finally saved 1,000 dollars myself, and gee was that a great day. But no, it was decimated, because yet again it was needed for an impending issue. I really just... Can't... This is all over the place. But there's just so much happening.

Only your mom can make the decision to better herself. Maybe she could look into getting a grant to go back to school that would cover the rent and expenses while she is retraining herself to make more money. That being said however, living in this scenario will fuel you to accomplish more in your life if you allow it to do so.
