FINAL UPDATE: We just moved in this morning!!!! After 2 months living in the car and out of motels/hotels we finally got the keys to the apartment. Living in cleveland on a main road in walking distance of hella s***! we’re hype and very relieved to finally lay on the floor of the apartment.

Stopped by my parents to grab some things i wanted to keep, grabbed the ps5 and the switch as well and i’m finally on my way to the apartment! (soft flex i know)

dropped some of our bags off and dropped on the floor and laid on the floor for a bit appreciate all the love and support from ktt and hopefully this is relieving to some or some inspiration for those in tough situations WE UPP NOW AND WE LIT! TIME TO DECORATE THE APARTMENT AND F*** MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND ON THIS FLOOR FOR NOW

Day 5 update: this what the trunk looking like. Stayed at a hotel last night to sleep in a bed and rest up and get some better hygiene. Almost had a mental breakdown after my gf and I got turned down from some racist ass people at this restaurant

Update #2 (6/4) We got approved for our dream apartment! The down side is move in date isn’t until another month or so. Still making decent money and not stressing too much about our situation. Keeping up with school work is hard at times but I should be okay. Appreciate the support from everyone

Update #3: Day 28 (6/25)

It’s my birthday! my gf got hella stuff for me and we’re going on a picnic still trying to enjoy ourselves. I cut my hand open the other day and had to get 3 stitches. My mental health is okay but our situation has really been taking a toll on my gf. She’s been having a lot of stress and anxiety and it’s been hard for her lately. it sucks we can’t shower/use the bathroom/brush our teeth whenever we feel like it and i miss being in a house. i miss sleeping in bed a lot and we did get hotels for like 3 or 4 nights so far. we’re 3 weeks away from moving in but not trying to count down the days. we’ll get furniture prob the week of moving in or something but money been really tight lately. eating out 24/7 has been nasty and really expensive and i’m tired of it. it’s hard being motivated in the gym or in school but i’m still trying. time flying by but not fast enough, trying to enjoy the moment though. appreciate you guys and i love y’all! gonna go try to enjoy my birthday:-)

Original post:I don’t know what to do anymore

I been living with my abusive parents my whole life and lately my girl been staying over here and she’s been getting a glimpse of my mom and dad and how they can be

They finally did too much and disrespected my girl and I’d rather be living in my car than in my parents house for another day. They physically/mentally/emotionally abused me forever and I been holding this s*** in for too long.

We both have a couple thousand saved up and we both work but it’s so hard finding an apartment we like that has any openings asap

I guess I’m just scared and don’t know how long we’re gonna be staying in our cars but I know I need to get out of that abusive house and I love my girlfriend too much to let us stay there another day longer

Where was ur girl staying before?

Hope you can find a place as soon as possible op. GL

Her dads but he got a newborn with his gf and they don’t really have the space for us to stay and they don’t have the best relationship either

that s*** so uncomfortable

I was in a similar situation before I moved on my own w/ my significant other. Hopefully you can find a temporary place to stay/sleep & you should most definitely look for a suitable place to live as soon as possible. In the future you'll look back to now and realize you were better off making the abrupt decision & get out of that toxic environment. I wish for the best for you & yours @op

Glad to hear you’re in a better position as of now! We both make decent money so we can probably get motels/hotels for the night but we don’t wanna spend too much money and spend more than we’re earning

Shout out to Mac tho one of my fav artists ever

Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words. Just peeped your top artists.

sorry for the bad hand youve been dealt bro

you can shower at gyms, and i think they let people stay overnight at walmart parking lots

Hell yeah thanks for the help. Will probably end up doing both of those

Tough situation, but you’ll get through it. If you gotta sleep in your car for a week, 2 weeks, a month or longer, you gotta do it. Wait until you find a space you like and go for it. It’ll all be a funny memory soon enough.

Also, consider rooming with someone, or renting a room or something. Craigslist is a legitimately great resource, that’s where I found my private place at and I love it.

Get you an apartment king I’m sorry you gotta deal with that s***

At least your girl real to sleep in a car

this

found most of my past rooms on craigslist

OP if you're in a church or something similar reach out to them too

How did your relationship with ya parents get out of hand? You ever try putting your foot down on em? Hope your situations gets better man🙏🏽

id try fb groups

one time i got a 2 month sublet in someones apt like 3 days before the fact

if theres a college near u theres probably an off campus housing search fb group for them eg "insert college off campus housing"
or a group called somthing like "insert city gypsy housing" (i know the language of tht is problematic but that is what all those fb groups call themselves for some reason)

or the fb searchbar is aight if u set a lot of filters on ur query and stuff
like search 1 br sublet 1 month
and then filter by like newest first, less than 1 month old, etc
it just pulls up any posts in public fb groups

I've slept/lived in my car for a bit. Honestly it's not that bad, it's all about finding the right parking lots, or maybe parking in front of a friend's place. That hardest part was finding a place to shower and s***.

It's always best to get away from abusive parents forreal so don't stress out about having to sleep in your car if it means avoiding them. Do what you gotta do, stack up some money and find a place to stay away from them so you're not always in the car.

Physical abuse as a kid now it’s just emotional and my girl was staying w me in my room minding her business

They came at my girl wrong and she started feeling the stress/anxiety/insecurity that my parents placed on me and I knew we would be better living in my and her car

Yeah just distance yourself man, whether that’s a car or even rent a room (basically find a room for a couple to rent). It shouldn’t be too expensive if you and your girl are even working minimum wage bro.

Have you looked at any hotels/extended stay places?

Kub

I assume this is the same girl you’ve been posting on WDYET? Hope both of y’all are good

it’s gonna be uncomfortable for a bit but this seems like the right decision

Sorry op. You’re doing good. You could always get a gym membership and use their showers if you need. Hope the best

Try extended family
