Need To Move Out - Family Issues!

Pressures really getting to me.
Ive just graduated and now looking for a job.

Things at home are generally OKish but arguments between me and my mum, my gran and mum or dad and mum have become pretty frequent (every other day or 3 days). It really stresses me out even if she doesnt argue with me.

Today is kind of the last straw. She swore at me because I got involved when she was shoting at my gran and I could hear her from up stairs.

I think its effecting my health as I have asthma and I don't want to be in an envionmet thats full of so much loudness and hostile nature.

I don't really have any money to move out so what do I do?
I want to live on my own but just come home now and again.

If I had a job, it would be so much easier but I just cant take this.

Pls help guys!

You might have to stick it out for a bit until you have found a job but once you have done this there is nothing stopping you from finding a new place to live you are old enough and hopefully mature enough to live away from home. There are a number of websites you can use to find housmates if none of your friends are looking for someone to live with. So your best bet is to find a job and leave it for a few months to save some money and then move out.

In the meantime you should talk to your family about how this is making you feel and hopefully that will make things better.

As a short term measure and just to get you out of the current sityuation, why not try for a job in a residential setting such as a holiday centre or hotel? I know most of them are closing for the winter now, but some are open all year and provide accommodation for their staff.

Try typing holiday centres into Google and see what takes your fancy. I would pick somewhere warm though!
