I think after this semester that I will not work as a security guard anymore in the school system. I drive 90 minutes a day that causes to much wear and tear on my car. My Head gasket blew yet sadly I am not making enough to fix my car or pay my bills. My fiance Talan has been driving me but $9.50 an hour isn’t enough to get by.

My boss forced me to call corporate today because he wanted me to tell on an employee he doesn’t like. I told corporate help resolve the issue between my boss Little john and Adelson or I will be leaving. I don’t want to deal with their petty arguments anymore. I want to work earn a paycheck and go home not deal with 2 grown men behaving like children.

I told my mom I wanted to sell the Bravada for price I owed her to pay her back so I can buy another car later she refused to allow me to. the Head gasket is blown I can’t afford to fix it but she said I will fix it. It is in my name but much like everything I own she decided she has a say so. I asked her why can’t I sell it for amount I owe her? Her answer is because I say so! Now I am stuck with a lawn ornament for a car that cannot run because mom said I cannot sell it. I just want a running car to take me to work..is that to much to ask? I want to drive myself!

Mom is making me go out with her tomorrow. Since she knows my Head gasket is blown on my car she knows I will be home. She likes the idea knowing where I am at all times. I feel like I am trap under her control because of these debts. I am about ready to give her the car in exchange a legal piece of paperwork saying I don’t owe her anymore. I already paid $1,000 of the $2,500 but I need to be allowed to make my own decisions.

Next time I buy I car I am going through a bank. I rather pay a debt to them then be controlled by blackmail.

Why can’t I just sell my car and give her the money so I don’t owe her anymore? It is legally in my name. Why am I being treated like a child? Family makes shit difficult.

If it's in your name, sell it!!

Because you are letting her treat you like a child. If the car is in your name sell it. Give her the money and be done with it.

you're letting your mum control you but asking permission.
you don't need her permission.
it is in your name which legally makes it yours.
if you want to be treated like an adult you've got to act like one.
