I thought I’d post what’s on my going on in the series of setbacks that is my life since I have no one else to talk to.
My car is having problems and it’s super old so I’d say it’s about done, and I don’t have the money to replace it. I had a nicer car before, but someone totaled it and openly admitted they knew the accident was their fault, they knew they were going to hit me and still hit me going 75 mph. His insurance had to cover that car, but the car title was in my dad’s name and my dad kept all the money from that car, leaving me with my crappy first car that I was getting ready to sell.
My job has been promising me more hours and if they couldn’t find enough hours they would train me to do something else. They scheduled me more hours for one week, now they have cut my hours and refuse to train me to do something else. I might possibly have another job so hopefully that works, but I’m already so stressed for money so if that doesn’t work out I’m screwed.
After encouraging me to kill myself multiple times my mom has been calling/ harassing/ texting me non-stop and is pissed I don’t want to talk to her, but she’s always been that way. She thinks she can say whatever she wants to me when she feels like it and then the next day it will be forgiven and won’t matter. but I’ve been so broken up over the messed up stuff she’s said to me for years.
My birthday is the 24th and I’m dreading it so much. I’ve always hated birthdays, they make me feel like I’ve just waited another year of my life being god damn miserable, I feel so old and something about being 20 just sounds horrible. I know I will have to celebrate with my step-family who are a bunch of racist rednecks. All I can think about is my last birthday when my boyfriend dumped me and told me he never gave a shit about me and I wasn’t good enough for him and I swore to myself that I would not live to see another birthday, and I’m so pissed off that I’m still here to see this one.

I’m so sorry. Your situation seems really tough. Do you live on your own? Why did your dad keep the money? Maybe you could tell your parents that you wouldn’t like to celebrate your birthday this year and you could go somewhere, like on a short trip to keep your mind busy yet peaceful?
And I am about to turn 20. My birthday is in March, though. I don’t anticipate it because I feel like I was 40. At least 40.
I live with my dad since I’m putting almost all my money towards student loans. I am not completely sure why my dad kept the money, I think it’s because he has a tendency to overdraw on accounts, not pay bills and things like that so he probably owed quite a few people money. He acted like he was looking for cars for me one day and then after a while when he wasn’t and everyone kept asking him if I he was going to help me find a car he just ignored it and it’s been so long since then that everyone know he just kept the money. I’ve thought about asking to no celebrate, but I already know the answer. For all of our birthdays my dad invites my step family and then makes us pretend like we’re a perfect family so that he looks good to them and he doesn’t allow us to skip out on that.
I hate to be that guy but id kill to be 20 again. Hell id kill all of one direction in front of their fans to be 25 again lol. In all seriousness don’t beat yourself up. Your ex is an asswipe. Im proud of both of you for making it to 20 it is no easy task. Sorry about the racist family and your situation in general. You are stronger than you know. I felt like i was 40 to 60 when i turned 20 waaaaay back when.
Your ex is an asshole
I think you are best off not celebrating your birthday if it reminds you of him. You don’t need this . Sorry for my poor advice
Never mind i sound rude and insensitive
No you don’t sound rude and insensitive. I wanted to ask to now celebrate my birthday, but my dad doesn’t allow it. He makes us go to dinner and do stuff with my step-family so that he looks good to them.
AHHHHH!
I’m turning 20 this year in May as well. I know that feel. ;/
My next …. I’ll be 50,
