I'm so sorry. I know soon I'll be getting a pre paid gift card. My plans for it was to pitch on on the hosting bills with Branden. If he's alright with it, its going all to you. :3

I have DM covered until December 27th next year, and will get it covered again before that.

So please, give it all to her. :D

Oh guys, you are all to kind, thank you! I never imagined I'd see such support, it makes it harder to think that very soon I'll be poofing away from all of you :(

A gift card? How would that work, less you plan mailing it directly?

A prepaid gift card works like a credit card, and as such, can be used on the internet. So what he'd do is donate to your paypal with it.

Also, I'm gonna miss you a lot. ;-;

Taiine

Ah! Though I wouldn't object to having it mailed out. Something like that be useful when I'm made to go walking in these darn plazas all day. (can stop for food!)

I know, I love this community and all of you!

This really sucks. I'm afraid I can't do much for the moment because of paypal, bank accounts and age restrictions. However, I've been looking at the stories you've posted and apologies if this is too personal, but if you could reveal a little more about your step-father (in as objective a manner as you can manage) I might be able to give you some more advice.

Set up my PayPal.  I just have to wait for my "two small deposits of less than a dollar" to show so that I can confirm it...

Not sure what info I can give... lets see...

Tom is his name, but I like calling him the ASS. He's a tall big guy and works security at nights, no gun, thank god. I'd be terafied if he was issued a gun. :(

I think I've said this before, he is a very VERY strict type, what he says goes, no if and's or buts. He has to be always right about everything and is a 'know it all' type so god forbid you prove him wrong on something or disagree with what he says. He is extreamly easy to anger with a hefty temper and any little thing he turns it into an argument.

Example we had a black trash bag of papers he brought home from work. Mom asked him what it was, just a simple 'what is this bad/what is in it'. Tom starts by saying it's full of papers but then it quickly escalates into him yelling that 'just move it toss it up on the box's, quit your arguing that it's in the way' bla bla bla... when all that was asked was 'what is this'.

Another example was when I had a doctor appointment, the night before I took a shower got cleaned up and all. After my appointment when in the car Tom blows up at me about next time I better fucking shower and crap, mom and I are telling him I did shower and hes saying I didn't because I have FLAKES all over the back of my shirt from 'dandruff' so I must not have showered at all and that it 'embarrassed him'. We again keep telling him yes I did shower, it's fucking Psoriasis, I can't help but flake 24/7! Even directly after a shower! Then he gets on that I should have changed my cloths. Another WTF, I did change, how does a light blue shirt with orcas on the front turn into a light brown shirt with white leaf patterns. Plus jean shorts into light long tan pants?! He's fucking BLIND. But ohh no he gets pissed because we are contradicting what he believes to be true.

In fact just last week he raged at me for 'never showering' when I had just gotten out of the shower an hour prier, my hair was still damp! But then he sleeps all day yet still think's he knows wtf's going on.

You can try and have a simple conversation with him and he'll turn around and accuse you of yelling and arguing with him and how 'he don't need that shit' when no one was doing any of the sort.

This goes hand in hand with him being a controlling type, again everything he says goes, you don't dare go against what he says or not do what he tells you to do.

He's very old fashion and apparently looks is everything, we are representing HIM when we go out so by god we better fucking look our best! So me flaking everywhere is god fucking forbiden or he RAGES! We are also a WORKING family as he loves to exclaim so everyone has to be IN BED and SLEEPING by a certan hour. Oh, everyone but Shawn who even on work nights can stay up till 4am playing computer games, and himself but then he fucking sleeps all day anyway. But then Shawn is his pride and joy, his blood son who is going to school online and making something of himself! Unlike me who is a free loader who sits on my ass all day and does nothing but play silly games or draw stupid pictures on the computer who knows nothing of the world. Love to know where he gets his logic.

If I so much pause in my searching for work, to look at something, even looking at youtube for music or god forbid pop a game window open he thinks thats all I've been doing all day even if I've been looking for work from the time I first work up until late in the evening. Even when hes SEEN me looking for work, if I later on try and do anything else he assumes I've been doing nothing but playing stupid games.

OH. Apparently because I have no job I must not know anything either. Another example. He's accusing me because our internet runs slow because I have SO MANY WINDOWS open on my laptop. You know, Firefox, Notepad with our addy and info so I can just copy and paste it into apps to save time, maybe MSN...

Oh no I can only ONLY have ONE thing open at a time, including the little icons by the clock? THEY HAVE TO BE GONE, because EVERYTHING OPEN slows down the internet! God forbid it's not maybe that virus that keeps circling through the net from HIS computer. Shawn has even jumped on his comp when he's at work and there is so much bs crap running on it no wonder it's fucking slow for HIM. His comp is also OLD, it can only run XP, it's not even set up for anything more then that. But no it's MY fault because I have NOTEPAD open along with a browser window thats making the net so slow!

But oh I DON'T HAVE A JOB I must not know about this! So how many computers did he build from scratch? How many networks has he administrated? How many has he set up? How many OS's has he installed? How many bad HD's has he dived in with DOS to retrieve files?

Yeah I must not know a THING about computers because I don't have a JOB. >.>

He is also a work-o-holic, and is just pushing me hard to find a job and even though I've put in over 90 apps in the last two months, plus calling places, PLUS walking around plazas, acuses me of not trying hard enough, or at all to where now hes saying hes not going to spend any more money on me once Shawn leaves so if I run out of something I am shit out of luck, all in hopes of pushing me to work harder to get a job.

Not sure what more I can say about him. Aside that his biggest hobby is to assume this, assume that, everything he says is right, we are all dumb fucks who couldn't tie our own shoes with out his oh mighty godlyness directing our every move!

I'm sure you'll be back as soon as you can. :)

I've had problems with my own father and he's not as much of an ass as your stepfather. Trust me, there is no chance in hell you can change him. I came close to maybe help my dad change, but I didn't make it. Your step-dad has a classic victim complex combined with a god complex and a incredibly deep-rooted insecurity based on the fact that he will be obsolete after nobody needs his support/money anymore. All of that together with him being as ignorant as one could possibly be about the actual situation, you get that kind of person.
Don't try to fix anything. Attempt to ignore as much as you can. You WILL get away eventually. After that break off all contact. Whatever he says, how much he tries to play the guilt-trap, don't give in. Don't care, turn your back. This can't be fixed, it's not in your hands, it's not your choice.

But before all of that, before you can break free, there is one thing you have to do: Let go. Let go of your anger. It's fucking hard, but if you don't do it, it will mess you up for life. You don't want that. A good way to do that is to post the stuff that bothers you. Just type it down and post it. It will make you feel better. You don't have to go around exploding at people, but you don't have to keep it inside of you either.

Even mom tells me to just ignore him. It's hard at times. Just ignore him and agree with everything he says as much as we can to avoide him going off.

I still dream of landing a nice job and finding me a nice small apartment where I can support myself and live.

Right now, we are in a heat wave, and he wont let us have the AC on because we don't need it! Fans is all we need! Even though we are sweating like pigs and even I got no sleep at all last night, sticking to the bedsheets and ugh. He just started an argument with mom just now before he left for work over her turning on the AC for a little bit to cool it off in here.

I so wish to get out of here soon.

Hang in there and don't lose faith. You will get out of there.

Have you tried to get a job which has nearly nothing to do with your education? Like dustman or suchlike? You've probably already tried this, but I guess every advice is helpful :D. But once again, the best of luck to you!

Another suggestion, and I don't mean this is a substitute for a "real" job, but an easy way to make a few bucks for your necessities, is to take paid online surveys.  It will be tedious, long, and boring, not to mention you don't get much for it, but it will help a bit when times are tough.

Taiine

I tried the survey thing and it was just a scamed rip off.

Even the one advertised on TV. You do them until you are just shy of being able to cash out, then all of a sudden you no longer qualify for the surveys you get. No matter what you answer that window comes up and you are exited out of it. I tried three accounts doing this, all of them ended that same way. So to me it looks like they want free labor and once your done? There's plenty others signing up every day to take your place. >.>

ForeverZer0

Yeah, I've heard many of them are like that.  A friend of mine has done them, and hasn't had any problem, he actually gets his money and everything.  I'll see if I can get a hold of him and find out which site he goes through.

On another note, what's your brother like? It seems to me like having him on your side would make your life a hell of a lot easier.

My brother is nice, and is the only one here who can stand up to the ass and not get yelled back at. He has literality told his dad to 'shut up' one day when he was arguing at mom over something stupid when he asked something as we didn't know wtf he was talking about. Mom asking a simple 'what do you mean' turns into him going 'look don't argue with me yada yada RAGE FACE'

Sadly he is the one who is leaving. :(
