I’m 19 and currently living in Alabama. I feel stuck I don’t even know how to drive yet, and I’m in a really lonely and emotionally abusive home. Every day feels the same, and I feel like I’m wasting my youth just surviving.
I’ve been thinking a lot about starting over maybe moving to a new state, renting a place with other girls around my age (18-20), and building something better for ourselves. Whether that’s going to college, working, or just having a safe and supportive space to grow in.
I know it sounds kind of wild, especially since I don’t have much money or resources but maybe someone else out there feels the same. I’m just looking for advice, support, or to connect with anyone who’s been in a similar situation or wants out too.
If you’ve ever moved states to escape a toxic environment, or if you’re someone around my age thinking about doing the same I’d love to hear from you.
