h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

3:44 - I am current;y sitting outside of my home on Friday morning, I have been locked out since 12. All because me and my sister had an argument about dishes she feels she has the right to lock me out, no one else is home which means the care of her is upon me, It's not like I wouldn't mind looking after her now and again. but for weeks and months on end with my so called mother hiding away from her life at the boyfriends house. and me taking flack because my money is being spent on Gas and Electricity and other such things instead of giving it to my mother (who is as unreliable as they come)

Now the thing Is I went to drop off some of my equipment (my computer and such) at a friends house because my mothers boyfriend had threatened that he should on this morn come round a destroy my property instead of dealing with my sister or my mother which I would deem a priority. so I comes back from my kind friends who is storing my equipment to find myself locked out, without my coat, my money or debit cards and without any keys. my sister is in that house alone, listening to my banging and heavily knocking chuckling away in bed.

I'm a little concerned as I feel used, not only at work were I earn 8.5k a year from programming and web design but at home were my 13 year old sister is foisted upon me, were bills are rarely paid and were I have to deal with unruly lazy arrogant unreasonable behavior were it is not really a place to stick my oar.

I want out of this shit, I don't care I got nothing much to lose. I'm sick of earning crap money which keeps me locked into a living at home, I hate being at home were so many bad memories still reside, were my family are totally destroyed in my eyes. I'm distrort. I thought after an utterly dark dingy and crap upbringing I may be able to improve my life some what with a job and a place to live. I thought that if I took a more upbeat and positive attitude towards the shit I'm dealt then then it might not be so bad. but the lord knows how to shit upon us doesn't he.

4:05 - I remain optimistic at this time that what comes around goes around and this torture will not go unreminded.

5:22 - Still outside, my sister is awake and the neighbors complained about my knocking and banging, still no door open, I'm shivering and all my joins are aching not to mention drifting in and out of fuzzt sleep I feel like shit, been out for 5 hours I don't know how I'm going to get to work in a few hours, fortunately while I lack heating and walls, my laptop still works and it's calming me with some Enya.

5:33 - I can see the sun coming up. a slight feeling that this may be over soon.

6:12 - I decide upon a tricky visit to my friends to see if he can borrow me a coat as I know he was busy with his own things the next day.

7:34 - I have a row with the neighbors about the noise, I agree to be more quite and break down into tears. I then decide that now is about the right time to march unto were my mother was hiding and demand a resolution. 3 bloody miles, and all I get is shadows and faint sounds hiding from me at my mothers boy friends, so I give up and walk back.

11:00 - I decide that now is about right for in-listing the day time help of my friends and I manage to phone home, my sister answers claiming she didn't know I'd been trying to get in and she thought I wouldn't be back (on a work day without my coat, wallet, keys or bike), I rush round to find her on the verge of leaving for her own part time work, I enquire some more as to this madness, I could have woke the hounds of hell I made that much noise, but she claims she heard nothing, at this point I break down into unstoppable tears of the relief at being inside my own home after a night of torment. my sister exits quietly.

Other developments, my friend is contacting his local plod to see about what can be done about this awful state of affairs with my sister and my mother. 'll let you know how it goes.

Sweetheart, it just breaks my heart to see you in such a bad situation. I wish I could be there to hold you close and take you away from it all.

I wish that too,

Take it form someone who's been around a long time. Get out of there, before you end up a lonely mess like me.

Hey Dr Mo - come and stay with me in Luxembourg!

No wait, you dont have a passport
Ah well, a virtual until later

Just you wait! Plans are afoot to use a few pices of valuable information to aquire a passport quickly,

things have quitened down today, but I fear they are simmering.

-- DoctorMO --

Sounds a bit dodgy - "plans to obtain a passport quickly" !

From some spiv in a dirty raincoat saying "You aint seen me, right?" as he looks shiftily from side to side...

Good luck with the plans - I hope you can find a happier place to be

What I mean by quickly is faster than the year and half it's currently taken me to get one. (I know I know, it's like a bad bueocrasy) and I still havent gotten it, so I'm fast tracking myself.

-- DoctorMO --

Family's are a pain in the , I can whole heartedly empathise

Best thing to do is get out. It's difficult, yes, but it depends on your priorities. I managed to get a flat when I was earning less than £6k a year - didn't go out a lot though! And certainly couldn't buy any fancy stereos or PC gear

At the moment I'm in a shared house, which may be an option for you. It's cheap, yet you've still got the run of a house. It's the simplest way to get your own space.

You can't solve all the problems in a family, they're just people after all. But at least if you're not living in the situation day by day, you can think more clearly about it.

Seriously thinking about moving out is a big step, and flippin scary. But it's the best thing anyone can do.
