I need advice, I'm 21 and live with my parents. My dad is so emotionally abusive and controlling, I'm so depressed I just want to leave but it's so hard to do with no money/job, I'm trying so hard to find a job but I'm constantly rejected. I don't know what to do I'm so fed up 😔

hello Hayley, the situation you are in, is not a very pleasant one, whether your depression has been brought on by your father before you turned 21 could well be so, and now you don't have a job then this could only be compounding your situation.
If you are receiving a fortnightly centrelink payment then they will provide you with the bond money to move into a flat, plus you can claim rent assistance, and if you have mates who would be willing to move in with you, then the rent will be cheaper.
I would be interested in knowing what type of jobs you have been applying to, maybe we can direct you to something else, but firstly living at home is not the best way for you to get any better. Geoff.
