Where do you live?

Why have your parents said this?

Don't come to London. the Councils are unlikely to help you, you don't pass the local connection test.

thank you so much for replying I live just south of leeds in Kirklees. My parents have never really wanted me and openly spoken of their desire to get rid of me since I was child and some nights even doing this for a few hours. yesterday I got into a big arguement with them. I wanted to go to Uni sept 2019 after I completed my a levels but I was told I would get no financial support from them. this was going to be difficult as my dads wage is really high so I figured I was only going go to get under £4000 maintenance money if I went to uni in another city. so I took a gap year to try and save a bit and then go to uni and try and use every grant scholarship or anything possible to survive whilst there. the gap year started well. I got a Christmas job in retail but since January I've not been able to find a second retail job to do so I withdrew my uni applications again as I needed one more year to save to afford to live half comfortably. I know it's my fault wanting always to feel good and live comfortably when I could have taken a daring step and just left home last year and wished for the best. My parents are going crazy saying I'm useless and wasting my academic skills. they're panicking because eid is coming up and they dont want to take my embarrassment of self to their facist family homes. I dont hate the community I grew up with but I cant do this anymore so ive just accepted my parents demand to leave their home. honestly it's a relief after years of abuse and something I shouldve done as a child but knowing where to go and what to do and all the uncertainty is scary. I really just dont want to live on a random roadside.

I've just looked at the website for Kirklees Council - there is an out of hours number for Homelessness/Adult Social Care which is:

01484 414933

Ring that number now.

Any problems, ring Shelter on

0808 800 4444

Let us know when you have spoken to the people on the Kirklees number and what they say.

Don't waste money by going to London. Contact your local council saying your parents have asked you to leave their house and that you are now homeless, or ring Shelter as suggested above. There are also some useful posts in this thread that you might find helpful.
