Please help an exhausted gay man get out of a toxic home

I’ll try to make things brief: My father is a gigantic alcoholic and cocaine user with a pornography addiction who has detached himself from his family and is psychologically abusive.

My mother is a ball of vitriolic nerves who constantly seizes control of my bodily autonomy. She HATES the fact that her son is gay and will make up any excuse to stop me from associating with ANY form of gay culture. She will constantly do inspections on my body for bumps or sores, and if anything is out of the ordinary she will have a fake panic attack and insist that I have HIV or AIDS and need to go to a hospital. She also gaslights me by insisting that my habit of drinking and smoking marijuana after work has caused me to turn into my father (which she knows is a hot button topic for me) just so I can side with her during the (frequent) arguements she has with my father.

I can’t take it anymore, and this October I AM going to leave. It’s not 100% set in stone where I will go, but I’ve got at least 3 of my friends willing to take me in.

I work as a 22-year-old uber/lyft driver but unfortunately I don’t currently live anywhere near a city with a large enough population that would allow me to make as much money as I need to. All 3 of the potential cities I could move to have big enough populations to where I’d make more than enough money. Currently I am able to make payments on my car, but that’s it. My entire life feels like stagnation: Wake up, get yelled at for being a failure, drive, come home, and get yelled at some more. Rinse and repease. And I’m fucking sick of it.

If there’s anything you can do to help me while I prepare to get out of this environment it would be VERY appreciated and I will try my absolute hardest to pay y’all back. I need to leave this house. I will never be able to realize my dreams of filmmaking (or just plain LIVING) a reality if I don’t ASAP. Please consider helping this flamboyant gay man out.

Thank you for reading this wall of text, and have a good day.

This post is still painfully relevant. The only change is I’m aiming to leave next year rather than October. Please share or donate if you can. Thank you all.
