    I'm living at home with my family,I'm 18 currently considering re-doing the leaving but I don't think I'd survive the year,My mum lost her job and is on job seekers allowance and she's married to a farmer(parents divorced when i was young) he is in no position to be helping us out with money..

    I'm currently sitting here listening to my mum constantly go on about having no money,can't afford to do this and that and it is really depressing me,Our sky picture is getting worse by the day(watch TV as we can't go anywhere) and i tried to fix it today and couldn't and she's just flipped,Sitting at the table crying saying we're going to sell the TV cancel sky etc and i'm just finding it all very depressing.I want to just get out of here but I can't afford it I can't find a job,Our car is broken so we're stuck at home day in day out and it's really just driving me mad..I don't know what to do :(

    You and your mum have legs - go out for walks, cancel the sky and buy 2nd hand bikes, anything to get out of the house and into the air.

    Start a garden, learn to bake your own bread, knit, whatever! Life doesn't mean you have to spend money to be happy.

    If you think your mum is clinically depressed then urge her to see her GP but a change of perspective could be all that she, and you, need.
