maybe move to a lower cost of living area. the northern ohio and southern michigan area where i live is among the cheapest in the country. you could be someoneâs roommate for less than 400 bucks and have money left over. iâm not sure being close to your family is that high of a priority the way you make it sound.

Hey @TheCanuk, I was just re-reading this whole thread and is it possible that your mom and step-dad would let you stay if you found some kind of daytime activity?
I can kind of see their point because Iâve been in your position a couple times with housemates. In 2015 I was renting a back room in this middle aged couples home. I started isolating and stayed in the house a lot of the time. To top it off, I had a back injury and it made me stay home even more.
I usually just stayed in my room and came out just to eat and go to the bathroom. I didnât think I was bothering anyone. Eventually, the wife told my sister i needed to move because we werenât compatible. I got along with the husband okay but there was a little tension between me and the woman so they gave me a month to find a new place. I moved out and my sister was friends with her and a few months later my sister told me part of the reason they asked me to leave was I was home too much.
I told my sister I stayed in my room almost all the time. But my sister explained to me that they needed privacy and alone time and just wanted the house to themselves more. It was just the presence of an adult who could walk out anytime and disturb their alone time. It was too much for them and was part of the reason they asked me to leave.
Itâs the same with you. You may think youâre not causing any trouble but adults need alone time and space and you may stay in your room or hang out on the porch or the backyard during the day and you think youâre not bothering anybody. But youâre all adults and just your presence in the house, no matter where you are, can be really annoying especially if itâs every single day.
Personally, I blamed myself on the situation and felt like I failed at living there. But the husband was alright but the woman was a â â â â â and for icing on the cake I had given a $450 deposit when I moved in and they tried to only give me $50 of it when I left. They gave me a list of trumped up charges of things I supposedly damaged which were all bogus. The lady was my sisters friend and business associate but my sister sent her a letter threatening to take her to court and I got most of my deposit back.
Anyways, the point is that I learned in all my future housing that I it was really irritating and annoying for a roommate to be home so much. So I force myself to go out and go to the library or out to to eat. You have to put yourself in your roommates place. having someone home so much is kind of annoying even if they are not causing trouble.
Thatâs my point. Maybe, just maybe, if you had some kind of regular activity a few days a week or a few nights a week do you think they would let you stay? if you could be gone more, no matter what you do, maybe they would let you stay? I donât know what you could do but maybe you could find some class or day program? Just anywhere, where you could be gone for several hours on a regular basis? Iâm sorry, but I have to do it too.

Can you apply to any jobs? Try Anything. Just try jobs and if one doesnât work try another one.
Hope you can find shelter. Go to soup kitchens and other food give aways when you can.
