Not sure how serious he is but my dad wants to sell the house again and kick me out. I would be homeless as I have no friends or family to stay with. Generally speaking do I have any options? (hexbear.net)

If you need to know my state to check the laws DM me and I will tell you where I am, otherwise I'll keep that blank since I don't want it to be public. Is there anything I can do having lived here all my life? I'm not a tenet so I don't pay rent but idk if there's any protections for people like me at all, if any. Gah I'm fucking scared, it seems like this time he's got something cooking when in the past it was just all empty threats.

Please have some good news for me.

I lived in a house with very unfriendly dynamics where I was stuck in a cycle of dependency on my parents, who would lord their position over me, threaten to kick me out, or to demand rent (that I had no job to pay for, or to belittle me for being a "leech to society".

Getting out of there (and staying out of there) was one of the best things I ever did. It slashed my depressive symptoms, it made my suicidal ideation go away entirely, within a year I got 3 different jobs and made good grades at junior college, and I was able to manage myself pretty well.

I know that 3 years ago there were valid reasons why you may have wanted to stay. Is there anything really keeping you there still? Asking because there is a big, wide, diverse, rather permissive, and often friendly world out there (that's the good news), and it aches to think about you not experiencing it. The best outcome is probably for you to leave on your own terms.
