Some one lied to my in-laws and said i ate most of the Halloween candy. Then i spent most of the day following a list of chores and my in-laws are threatening to kick me out again. My partner got a new job that pays weekly she’s happy about that but she talked to me today and promised we won’t be here forever. Let’s face it though her parents rely on us more than we do them. We take care of their animals, clean their house, pay their bills, rake their yard and in the winter i shovel their side walks and parking spaces

Good to hear you are sharing these issues with your therapist, @cbbrown.

she had a lot of suggestions, but none would fit our current situation with my partner’s job. she has a van, she pays for insurance and gas for it but no one will teach her to drive it until next spring they said because road conditions are going to be bad this winter supposedly
Can your partner take driver’s ed to learn to drive it?
Why don’t you flip them the bird then call it good?
I don’t think your partner would be implicated in their abuse. I’m pretty sure the only people who would get in trouble would be the people you pressed charges against. Who told you she would be implicated? The laws could be different there, I guess.
I’d bet on them not kicking you out. Probably when you go to leave they will try to find some way to make you stay.
There are private tutors for driving. Actually all you really need is a licensed driver over 25, so you might be able to pay an acquaintance some nominal amount of money to ride around for practice.

@Ninjastar she pays her part in bills and helps out when she can. Unlike my in laws who use my money to go out to eat and pay for their little girl’s playhouse. So i hope they don’t indict my partner
@Tomasina her uncle offered but it’s mainly up to his girlfriend

@cbbrown is there any way you and your partner can get an inexpensive rental? Seems like it’s a stressful situation for you and her. Like even an efficiency or such?
the problem is transportation, her uncle’s girlfriend is her only way to work. she can’t walk back and forth to work like she could her old job because this job is a factory job that sits along a highway. i know it sound’s like i’m making excuses but trust me we have thought about it. we are officially stuck.
I never cease to be amazed by the abuse you have to put up with. I really think you and your partner need a long term plan to get out on your own.
You can get a crappy car for a few hundred bucks,
If you have even decent credit you may be able to finance a cheap one.
I think if you start putting back a little bit out of each pay check, in 6 months you’d be able to get out of there.
part of the plan was for her to get a weekly paid job because waiting two weeks in between checks was making us have to stretch our money thin just to have enough supplies to last .
part two is for her to get her license but so far no one is going to teach her. she is paying insurance for her van and its already in her name.
