I had a major fight with my mother. She was banging on the my bedroom door, she called me names like a slut, whore, and she screamed in her room that she hated me, she called me ugly, said I'm fat, and a bunch of other terrible things. She said "That ugly daughter I have". Then she wanted me to get out, and disconected my internet. So here I am I came to the library and I have my dog with me. I am to scared to go home because she will probably still be mad, but I need a place to stay! I am 18 I am desperately looking for a job but I cannot find one! I really want to move out now I guess I should just starve in my car with my dog. I am in a real terrible situation I need help. I am mentally messed up over this. I am scared to go to the police station or anything like that because she will be mad and what can they do?

Sounds like a lot of words spoken in anger and hurt feelings. What was the argument all about? I know its really tough out here for everyone, not just you, but for now let the dust settle and maybe cooler heads can prevail.

Hard to make a plan with no job and maybe any job you can get is what you need just for a few bucks. No McDonalds, or Walmart near you?

What bought all this on? Is this the first time she did this?

Is there a women's shelter in your area? The police can help you find one. (Seems like she's already mad, so going to the police for help shouldn't make things worse -- and might help you and your dog a lot.)

What was your part in this... arguments don't happen in a vacuum.

YOU do also understand its HER house... you are only a temporary resident in it. And at 18 she doesn't have to support you any longer, or give you a place to live. In fact... staying with her past your 18th birthday is a mater of following her house rules and giving her all due respect as a parent.

Most parents would do it as long as you behave... but start tellign them what is and isn't going to happen under their roof is a sure fired way to get thrown out.

THere is a lot here leading up to this fight you aren't telling us... mostly what you said and what your part was in it... and what started it. I'm guessing by the conspicuous absence of that information... you had something to do with it.

What started the argument? Do you have a relative or friend you can stay with while you settle things with your mom?
