I’m 20 and I’m living in a hotel with a woman who just yelled at me for sniffling despite the fact she’s had two coughing fits in the past hour. Soon I’m going to move into a 1 bedroom flat in a bad area with her where I get to be yelled at for biting my nails or not doing the dishes. The alternative is moving back in with my husband who demanded a medical certificate to prove I was autistic.
My benefits are frozen because I didn’t fill a fucking form in on time and my current near-homelessness didn’t make them want to pay me any faster. I have £4.63 to my name and no way of getting more money. If I stay with either of them, i’ll have my benefits either stopped or reduced.
I’ve essentially lost my social life because I can’t afford to go out and this town is too small to dare mention what’s happened, because they’ve all known him longer than me.
I’m essentially banned from being autistic no matter which shitty person I live with. I’m completely trapped and I have no control over my finances or my life.
What the fuck am I meant to do? I can’t live like this. What little life I had built has disintegrated and the options I have right now are horrifying. If you can even call them options.
I can’t do this.
