It’s been a long long time since I came back here on this site and I’m no longer the same person I started off when making this account back in 2018. I had to leave. I realized once I turned 25 that there was never going to be a chance for me to grow, elevate, have relationships, a basic job none of the other factors for living a full life. I had been doing this since I turned 18 and learned a lot of difficult and hard lessons out of situations involving caring for someone who never really made the effort to get any better and continued allowing negative behavior to affect me and my daily outlook coupled with the severe amount of isolation I was under, little respect from her and her son and his live in girlfriend, being forced into paying rent which was $700 while cleaning the entire home and performing care tasks, manipulation tactics along with the feelings of resentment, burnout and stress all of which left me no time to take care of myself and moving this woman into a new city on my own without any help even though I was asking for assistance. Threats were also used on and off before I made the decision to leave concerning me being kicked out and rendered homeless all while trying to go and complete classes at a community college and being employed with another care company that clearly wasn’t paying me much of anything due to insurance. Her son, absolutely took a lot of my Pell grant for “back payments” for “rent” and would later demand $1,100 and threatened to take me to court. Sadly out of fear I would pay him that money so I could leave. He also decided to try to block my car with his in our backyard and I lied to get him to move it. So at 26, I left, practically ran to my car and drove. Since I moved away, I would go to school (and would fail but I attempted anyway.), brought a house with my partner of almost 4 years now and have maintained a job that is in no way shape or form connected to her. The journey was chaotic getting to this point but it was worth it even with the amount of change that would appear in the last 4 years. I wish everyone luck and love in whatever your pursuits are.
