A bit stuck

[Guest_51]

Greetings,

I'm Jay (20)

Though I'm not used to venting my feelings on these sort of sites, I have to admit that my situation is in no way improving and I'm honestly at the point where I'm desperate for a solution.

To cut a long story short, I'm currently stuck living within my mother's house against my own will due to not being able to gather the necessary identification and finances required for a license, a birth certificate and other various forms of necessary ID. Due to lacking these necessary documents, I am extremely disadvantaged, as I am unable to eat proper food, perform adequately at university or even buy bare essentials. My mother is a hoarder who sleeps until the late hours of the afternoon (5pm), staying up all night with the television blaring to 6am, which is the time I wake (I wish I was exaggerating). Worse still, her plan is to keep me within the house so I'll take care of her, as she has no retirement plan. So essentially my life's worth has been reduced to that of a carer.Though this has been an issue since I was 14, it's taken a major toll on my mental and physical health, resulting in debilitating OCD and depression. The reason I'm writing this thread is because I can't do this by myself and no matter where I go or what I say I can't achieve any progress. I've talked to Centrelink, I've gone to the BDM department and every effort has resulted in me requiring money I don't have or identification I need to acquire from somewhere else. 

Any suggestions?

Hi Jay, welcome

You can begin your journey in getting your own ID by gathering the required 100 points without your mothers input.

Write to or attend the Birth Deaths and marriages department offices in the  state of your birth. You will be seeking your birth certificate.

If you have a bank account you would have provided 100 points. Gather copies of your accounts. In fact anything that has your name on it eg school reports.

You are 19yo, an adult by law. You are entitled to a free life and I find extraordinary this is happening to you. Your mother seems to have a security issue or a possessive issue with herself. But you need to work around this and find a way. If it became crutial for you to get your ID then even bring the police in so they can draw from your mother the paperwork you need.

Sounds extreme doesnt it? No, it is necessary. Your mother has no justification to withhold it.
