• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Wont make this long.

My mum and dad split up years ago, I stayed with my mum and my twin brother went with my dad. I visited them every other day though.

So I was up there the other night and got in a big fight with both my brother and dad. They kicked me out and said I shouldn't come round for a while.

Last night, my mum said that I have to pay rent every month, which was fine. She also wants me to back-pay rent for the previous four years. This isn't possible and she said if I can't get the money for tomorrow then I am getting kicked out.

I have absolutely no friends or family to stay with, and very little money. I contacted both the government and a local charity, but they consider me a "low priority". I have tried contacting hostels in the area (and two a considerable distance away) but they need me to be referred to them by the government. The best I can get is an interview in two months to see if I really am homeless.

There is literally nothing I can do but go buy a small tent and find a secluded place somewhere.

Can anyone give me any advice?

Thanks.

4 years back would make you 15 years old. As parents we are to provide for our children legally until 18 years old. So legally its one year back pay. I do hope your getting along and that you post back here to let us know how your doing. Praying for you.
