Life with my family is so bad, they abuse me psychologically every day. I'm 18 with a plan to go to university. I have a part time job but I don't have enough money to move out, plus moving out will bring its own problems. What can I do?

Consider getting a roommate and moving out anyway. You can find postings for wanted roommates on public bulletin boards at the university you are attending. If you stay in your house, the drama is going to affect your schoolwork and possibly the quality of your work at your job.

find someone at school you can talk to. like a counselor or someone and ask what your options are and maybe ask around to some friends and see if their family would let you stay with them for a while if you pay a little rent. If none of that is possible, grit your teeth, remain calm, and stick thru it until college. Once you start college, try to get to the point that you dont have to go back there. Just dont let this make you a bitter person. Make sure you dont let them destroy your spirit. Find someone to talk to in person and come up with a couple of game plans.

you CAN move out. Get a roommate. Live in someone's spare room. Rent a cheap apartment. Get a job waiting tables, versus minimum wage at your current job. Waiting tables can be really good money. Trust me, there are options. Being in an environment like that is extremely damaging to your body, mind and soul! Otherwise, the only thing you can do is limit the time you spend talking to them. That is really the only option if you are living with them.

Either find a roommate or 2. Or stand up for yourself and put an end to it.
