Help Mentally Ill Agender Teen Stop Being Broke And Homeless

Help mentally ill agender teen stop being broke and homeless

I’m Eli, a Jewish agender 18-year-old with ADHD and BPD. My parents have been emotionally, physically, and financially/economically abusive and controlling throughout my childhood to me and my sibling, even after we turned 18. Last week they ramped up that abuse and control to unbearable levels by stealing hundreds of dollars worth of my possessions and extending their abuse and control tactics even further with the help of an abusive psychologist. I couldn’t stay in that abusive environment any longer, so I left and have been couch-hopping since then. My parents continue to try and find me and coerce me into coming home by attempting to cut off my communications with other people by turning off my data and texting, withholding from me thousands of dollars of my money that I previously entrusted to them, and stealing $400 dollars right out of my bank account before i could transfer the money to my current non-joint account, leaving me with almost nothing. I’ll hopefully be going back to either community college or Brandeis in the spring or next fall, depending on whether my parents decide to pay for it and whether i can shorten my mandatory health leave, but until then I’m going to be homeless with only a few possibilities for where to stay, all of which are either short term, have a high chance of falling through, or both. Due to multiple factors, including debilitating executive function problems and having no permanent residence or area, it will be extremely hard for me to get or hold down a job, let alone one that pays well enough to fund college if my parents cut me off completely.

I’ve set up a Youcaring page for donations, which I’ve linked below and at the top. Please donate to help me replace my stuff and find a place to live and work. Boost this as much as you can by reblogging and sharing this!

TL;DR: I’m a mentally ill/disabled Jewish agender 18-year old who escaped an abusive situation and is now homeless. Your donations will help me replace missing property stolen from me by my parents as well as help me find and pay for stable housing, employment, meds, and food.

On thursday (october 22nd, 2015) the worst terrorist attack in Sweden since 1940 occurred. A right-wing extremist armed with a sword and knives marched into a school and systematically attacked people of color. A student and a teacher died, and another student and a teacher are currently in intensive care.

The terrorist was open about his extremist right-wing views. He was racist, islamophobic and inspired by the anti-immigration discourse that is currently happening nationwide in Sweden. The terrorist was shot by police during the attack and died. I will not say his name, nor upload his picture. He does not deserve the attention. However, I will say that there’s been two severe terrorist attacks in scandinavia in the past few years (this one, in Trollhättan, and then the one in Norway that was carried out in 2011), and they have both been perpetrated by right-wing extremist white men.

Teacher Lavin Eskandar was one of the victims of the terrorist. He attempted to stop the attacker in order to protect the students that were in his care. Lavin was 20 years old, had recently graduated and aspired to work with media. Had he not reacted as quickly as he did, it is likely that more students would’ve gotten injured or had been killed.

I lack words to talk about this properly. Whenever news updates appear, I start crying all over again. This is what hate breeds. There is no such thing as “hate in moderation” or “it’s just words”. When a hateful and racist rethoric is spread online and in media it will inspire people to do horrible things. It will inspire hateful actions. It will inspire terrorism. Children and teachers are dead because the politicians and the media couldn’t get their shit together and stand up to the extremist right-wing discourse that is sweeping the nation. It should never have come to this.

Despite my sorrow, I try to write about this anyway. It’s important that people in other countries know what happened.
