The past few days have been horrible, and tonight I just realized I'm standing next to a land mine.
At dinner, dad talked about taking me and my 16 yo brother to the doctor and lying to the doctor about screaming in our sleep (we don't, dad would say we do) to try to keep us out of the military. Ok, it'd suck, but I'd just lie to him and if needed, announce I'm enlisting and enlist early. Then it hit me. The Marines, and I assume all branches, require a high school diploma to enlist. I was home schooled, and dad never bothered to issue one. I'm fine if I have an associates degree, but that doesn't happen until May 11. So if I get kicked out any time between now and graduation, I'll have to try to go from part to full time work (tried to over Christmas break, but got stone walled by my employer), probably a lot of over time needed since I only gt minimum wage, while going to college full time and navigating adult life for the first time. I have to be on campus 4 days a week, and I don't even have a car. One problem this semester, and I am EXTREMELY **censor**. And I couldn't do only part time college because this is the last semester of my scholarship.
I'm one step away from major catastrophe and months of extreme pain
