My mum's kicking me out.

Long story short.

My mother and I have always had a strained relationship - possibly literally from my birth. We've just never got on well for very long. I could genuinely write a book on how she has made my life difficult.

Now at 24, 25 in a couple months, if I'm honest I think we're both amazed that we've made it this far. Considering how many times she's kicked out or threatened to kick me out since my dad died.

So yesterday I came home to find a load of my stuff packed in black bags and my room basically trashed. This is the most extreme she has ever gone so it seems real now.

Anyway I know many at my age are very independent - I feel like a loser even making this thread. Thing is, I only graduated last year, I've got a job that basically gets me by, I haven't yet managed to attain a good graduate job that pays well unfortunately. And living in London rental prices so high... And I've spoken to a council and looked online and naturally I'm not considered a priority for housing support. It's not an ideal position to be in, but I suppose the struggle will toughen me up.

I guess I'm making this thread to vent and for just general advice. I imagine there are others that have been in similar positions.

Thanks

Sorry to hear that. Is there a relative you could stay with until you find a place to live? Perhaps speak to housing people and see whether they can help you out?

Only blood relative in this country I have is my Aunt - and she'd never accept me as it would offend my mum, she was ostracised from the family for years because of my mum so understandably she wishes to steer clear of any conflict.
