So I was just told by my mom that I have three days to get out of the house.

I don't currently have a job because I fell ill and had to stay in bed for a month, I also failed many school subjects because of the same reason. I am slightly worried, but I think if everything goes right, I might have a couple of options to get a place to stay and some money for food and all that (or I might not, but let's hope I do). I honestly have no idea what's gonna happen. Have you ever been in a situation like this? How did you make it work?

You have my empathy, I don't know your mother and I want to say some things about her but that's not my place. It's very judgy that people in the comments are assuming that you're some bum they don't know your situation. All I can suggest is maybe call up a friend if you have one and ask them if you can crash at their place for a moment, seek a homeless shelter, or find a job asap. I'm sorry I'm not much help.

I knew that my sister's best friend was in a similar situation her mother kicked her out for stupid reason and she was even contributing to the household join military is hardcore but I things get better for you, it's up to you but if I were you I wouldn't go back to that house or answer her calls.

She might be one of those narcissistic parents.

@Chickie who assumed that he's a bum? What was said was that we only have his side of the story and that he is an adult...it's time to leave

@Fernie Well, most of comments are saying things like "he doesn't pay rent" yes, in the US it is expected for American teenagers to move out at the age 18 and adults back then probably could do it easier then but the job economy is crap now and the expectation to move out by 18 is unrealistic.

@Chickie Thank you for the advice, I think that's actually what I'm gonna do, I might stay at a friend's place for a little while until I find another place to stay. And yeah, in my situation, I think I should get a job as soon as possible. 😬

I don't plan on coming back either, knowing my mom, I probably wouldn't last very long in the house the second time, also, things with her have been a little hectic lately, so I don't think it's a good idea that I come back, for the both of us.

@Chickie he isn't even looking for a job. He said himself his Mother is tossing him because she is the only bread winner in the house and he does not contribute. Don't enable him...he has to get a job or go

@Fernie Whatever you say
