I have been living with my mom and we got into a huge argument. She told me tonight that I have 30 days to find a new place or she is kicking me out.Here is what happen...My mom has type 2 diabetes and she cant eat late so I was trying to help her decided what to eat and she completely snapped. Four days ago she found out that I dropped one of my college classes and she completely snapped. She went on to tell me "you are going to amount to nothing and end up on the streets like a ***** with the pimps." I want out of this house but I only have $400 to my name. I have a job but she took the car and I cant even get to work now. I am coming to Charlotte soon. I will do any type of work retail, hostess, office work. I just need something to help me get on my feet. Any advice?

Then you will be homeless. But at least you will have your pride.

Do you have any helpful advice? All that you have said is going to do nothing. You dont know my mom or all that she has done to me. When she called me a mod cut. I saw just how little she cares. All I need is some advice on what to do to help me get to Charlotte. I have enough for a plane ticket and a few nights in a hotel then im stuck. So please if you have helpful advice im ready to hear it.

Is she paying for your college? then she has the right to tell you what to do there. Does she make payments on the car, pay the insurance? Then she has the right to take it away. You don't say how old you are but it sounds like it's time for you to grow up and be responsible for yourself.

Buy a bicycle or a bus pass. Get a second job. Find a cheap apartment and a roommate - fast.

No I am paying for my college. All she does is pay the insurance. I am 28 and only live with her because I lost both my stepfather and biological father and emotionally I couldn't handle being on my own now after 3 years I am ready. She holds my car over my head to keep me here. So now I have to give up school because I have no way to get there and my job I will end up being fired because I dont have a way to get there. Believe me I am ready and willing to be on my own. My mom is a control freak. Plus I paid for half my car. My dad paid the other half.

I can find a job and get a bus pass. I can stay at the in-town suite in Matthews there is tons of places around that so that is my plan. Getting there is my first step.

Please don't come here without a job. I understand your frustration but you need to be safe. If you come to Charlotte with only enough money to hold you for a few days or weeks you be likely be very sorry. My suggestion would be to buy a bicycle so you can get to work, then get a second job and save every penny. (If you are working 2 jobs you won't have to have a lot of contact with your mom) When you have enough money to live for +-6 months then you can consider moving. I have to agree with the other posters - apologize to your mom for your part of the argument.
