Crisis on the Home Front

Howdy.


I'm having some major issues living at home with my parents and my sisters.  Mainly, it's Pam.. the Queen Bitch, I'll call her PQB from now on.  Let's start with the basics here, people.


1.  I am 22 years old
2.  I work at a coffee shop for $8.25 an hour plus a few dollars in tips.
3.  My bills include, but are not limited to:  car insurance, three credit cards, gas, car maintenance, phone bill, etc
4.  I have not received any money at all from my parents other than for birthdays, holidays, etc. since I turned 16.
5.  I have, however, asked for some help and been denied.
6.  My parents just spend a shitload of money on brand new windows for the ENTIRE HOUSE.  That's over 16 windows.  Just so you know, our current windows are just fine.
7.  They also just ordered brand new leather furniture for our living room. Great.
8.  Soon I will be applying to graduate school at anywhere from $50-$150 per application.  I'm supposed to apply to EIGHT SCHOOLS.  That's a lot.
9.  Soon I will also be taking the GRE's, which is also $150 each time you take it.  Don't even talk to me about the subject tests.
10.  You could say I'm a little hard for cash.


Basically, the point I'm trying to make is that my parents won't help me out AT ALL.  Not even with my school application fees or test fees!!  Not to mention that the only way I could go to school is through student loans, and every single student loan I have is in my name and I have to pay it back all by myself... 


Don't forget PQB loves to nickel and dime me for anything and everything.  If there's anything she can get me for, she'll take the money for it.  We're on a family plan for our cell phones but I still pay for my data plan and text messages.  This past month I simply didn't have the money to give her, unless she waited for my paycheck.  She got so angry that she told me she was simply dropping my phone from the plan and starting on July 11th I would have no choice but to find my own service plan.


Right.


According to PQB logic, since I can't afford paying her for my data plan and texts I will obviously have enough money to afford my own plan for a FUCKING IPHONE.  Those shits are $100 a month if you have a plan all by yourself! Makes total sense to me!!  Pretty much she wants to make it my problem instead of hers.  I get it.  But really, you can't afford to let me slip by $30 this month?  Wow, thanks.


Living at home makes me feel sooooo loved.  I hope you can feel the sarcasm oozing out of your screen right there.  I am never good enough for anything.  In my parent's view, I am always doing something wrong, or being accused of doing something wrong.  I wouldn't complain if it weren't true.  Money issues, emotional issues, stress issues.  I can't get away.


I'm sorry this post is dedicated to depressing subjects and venting, but to make matters worse, my best friend, my dog Bailey, passed away about four months ago.  Another fishy situation that I will not be able to talk about for a very long time.  Since then there's really been no reason for me to even set foot in this place besides the fact that it is a roof over my head.  Honestly, I'd rather live out of my car.  I don't do that, though, because I like to take showers. :)


Does anyone want to adopt me? Kthnx <3
