<prompt> Human: Think this is where Id post this? So Im kind of in this situation where I dont know what I should do, Im 21M trying to get through college and find my own place after wanting to escape the moms house for a while. Thing is, my parents are divorced and supposedly from what my mothers been saying is that she doesnt really get child support from my dad and shes always short on cash due to inconsistency at her hair salon job. Leaving me to pick up some of the pieces and help pay rent, buy some groceries and even leaving my 10hr support specialist temp job to pick up my little brother and sister from school for a couple weeks so far. I love the kids and have been holding off a bit on leaving all together due to not wanting to leave them with the mess that is my parents. But now Im just really thinking I should try to get out? I have a good friend whos got a room I can rent for 300 a month but at the same time Ive only got a temp job at the moment which I feel I could make something out of, I regretfully dont have any savings and after my paycheck pick up tomorrow Ill be at about 275 after a few bills so Im hoping if I did decide to leave itd be in about 2-3 weeks probably to get the right amount saved up. Normally, this job gives me 40 hours a week if I want though theyre pretty flexible with the hours which has been really great for my situation. So should I continue staying here helping out family or should I focus everything on trying to move over to that room?-P.S. I dont have a room here, its a desk and a couch and Im pretty regularly pressured to buy groceries for the house, be stuck at the house watching the kids, and setting me back from my own goals. My bills add up to 670 without food which wouldnt change since Im technically paying 300 here but always being pressured for more money and at the very best I can make 1600 if I work 40 hours all 4 weeks in a month.P.S.S. Apparently were late on the rent by about 14 days right now here since hurricane irma kinda messed with our job schedulesclientele and just in general not having enough money I guess, so I dont even know whats happening within the next couple weeks being that at max I can only make 800 before the end of this month and Im not too sure about her.P.S.S.S - This is my first real post on reddit so sorry if Im in the wrong place or am just not wordingformatting things too well.  <response>: You dont have to be responsible for your mother and siblings unless you want to be. Legally she is an adult, and they are her dependents, so you need to decide what type of help both personally and financially you can affordwant to give. Thats not an easy thing, but this is less of a financial question and more of rrelationships.
