im about to call my mom and dad and say i need them and then just slap the shit out of them both. i cant believe they decided to have kids knowing that i would eventually have to deal with the job system. used to think that when i become an adult i will finally get to escape my abusive household and finally be happy but i was foolish to think so. now 5 decades of my life will consist of this bullshit. i will also have to deal with the Euroid Style Pension System where i somehow work for 50 fucking years of my life and they give me a check that barely covers rent. i want to visit my government building some time and ask everyone personally how they think we will do this like genuinely. how are we supposed to live when our average salary does not even cover half of rent?

    i do want to go to college but i want to become a psychologist and honestly i have a lot of issues i have to deal with if i want to work with vulnerable people. it should also be worth noting that i do live in a very abusive household atm and just want to get out.

      I think this is exactly what you would learn in psychology university, ive personally known a lot of “troubled”(for lack of a better word) psychologists and that didnt necessarily make them bad at their job, its like saying that because an oncologist smokes theyre bad at their job.

      Also, i think university generally speaking is a great place to make meaningful connections, you know, others being in a really similar stage of life and all that.

      I think that if you want to go and you can go you should definitely go, no?

      Wherever path you choose i wish you the best of lucks Comrade!!!

      I see. I don’t know if campus housing is available and feasible for you. It wasn’t for me, which meant the usual bills and utilities, as well as food, transportation, day care, toddler clothing and foods, as well as mowing the lawn, and usual chores. It’s a lot, without a child. Of course your physical and mental health and safety take priority. I wish you the best, and hope you find an acceptable solution.
