Genuinely need help. I’m a grad student living at home and my mom hold it over my head and treats me like a slave. I was 20 mins late to pick her up from the airport bc they landed an hour early. Suddenly I’m a disappointment and don’t deserve anything.

I work about 25-30 hrs a week as a marketing coordinator. Should I tough it out and continue to live like this for the remainder of this school year plus one more?? Like cost of living is insane and I only make 23/hr. Is it realistic to get an apartment?

If you can find an apartment with friends to share the rent, that would be ideal. Otherwise, I’d say to tough it out. The cost of living is nowhere near reasonable, and the risks are too high. I also chose to sacrifice my sanity of being the “disappointment” until I can move out and not die financially in case anything happens.
