<prompt> Human: This is a throwaway account, and actually my first post on Reddit though I have read here a lot.Earlier tonight, I told my mom that I was a lesbian. I thought that she wouldnt take it well, and there would be problems, so I waited until college. I thought it would be better when we were living apart. But in the end, I couldnt keep myself a secret any more. It also wasnt fair to my girlfriend.My mom told me that Im not getting any more money for college I pay with a combination of scholarships and parental help, about 40-60 split. I know that until Im 24, I have to report my moms income, which will complicate things. But the worst part is that, since she has access to my bank accounts to help me pay for living expenses, that is going to stop as of tomorrow. Shes also saying I have to return any money left over from her help, so Im not sure if I can or should empty the account. I work 15 hours a week or so at 9hr during school, but thats not enough.I went to an ATM immediately and withdrew up to my daily limit, plus I had 300 cash saved. So now I have 600, which is exactly one months rent, and about 400 left in the account. I also have 200 more in a savings account, but again, thats something with joint access.The only good thing here is that Im not homeless yet. I pay my rent in lump sums at the beginning of each semester, so I can remain housed through May 31st. I live in the Twin Cities, and would like to be able to keep going to college. I have a few weeks left of my freshman year, and two finals. I was going to go home for the summer, and try to work while living rent-free, but thats no longer an option. I can likely keep my school-year job, or get something comparable for the summer, but I wont be full-time, and the pay wont cover very much.The real problem here seems to be the cell phone and the car. Without a working phone, how will I find work? And without a car, it will be more difficult to work because Ill have to take public transport fortunately, Im in a good area to do so.I am a rather small female, so I worry that hard physical jobs might be out of the question, and I have a lot of concerns for my personal safety, too. The only thing I have going for me is a years experience in retail and my brain. I can speak three languages EnglishSpanishGerman, tutored kids in high school, and am an excellent proofreader for papers and the like. Im a very strong student 3.9.Please let me know about ideas, or if theres anything more I should do immediately.UPDATE: I took the train to the downtown bank branch cant afford to pay for parking there, and I do have a U-Pass already, and emptied down to the minimum balances, leaving me with 1100. I then opened a new account and put most of the cash in there 950, though I need to keep some on hand as well. I also went to the finance office, and explained my situation. Its pretty muddled, since my dad did not kick me out, and we still talk once a month or so bad divorce, he lives overseas. I e-mailed him to let him know what had happened, and he told me that while my coming out is a lot to absorb, and he needs some time, I am still his daughter. He gave me the option to come visit him for a while, if I cant find a place but I cant stay very long without a visa, and he doesnt have much room.I picked up a prepaid phone directly after the bank.I called my SO last night right after this happened, and she talked to her parents they are supportive of her and seem to like me though weve only met once. They run a resort in northern Minnesota, and SO usually goes home for the summer to work. SOs brother just started a new post-grad job on the West Coast, so he isnt around to help any more. Thus, the parents are a man down and have told me if I need to, I can come home with SO, and work for her family. They are offering room, food and other needs, and a lump sum at the end of the summer. However, I dont want to strain the relationship or end up in a terrible situation if we broke up, and honestly, I kind of need the resources in the Cities. I have been having panic attacks, and I think I can plan long-term better in the city.I also realize I am probably going to lose my health insurance as well, so I am going to look into Medicaidstudent insurance- I have a health problem and really shouldnt go without.Finally today, I called one of the pastors from my church and explained things as best I could. He referred to the LGBT orgs you guys mentioned, and said that he knows some members who are looking for nannies over the summer, or have extra rooms. Where I go has a lot of upper-middle-class families. So I might be able to live-in, if there are kids, or do another job while paying reduced rent, if someone has an empty nest andor too much house. That would probably be a bit away from the city though.Good tips about looking for things online. I wont get into the sex industry unless its that or starve, though. I do not need a place now, but unless I go to my SO or my dad, I will come June 1st.Assistant: Its probably worth getting some advice on what she can legally force you to return - I expect she cant make you return any money, and if the phone and car are in your name then maybe not them either. You might be better off financially without a car if public transport can work for you, but how would you return it to her anyway? Is she in the same city as your college? It seems like a bad idea to see her right now if you can avoid it. Also, wheres your dad - is he around? If so whats his attitude?Human: Youre right- she probably didnt think that through. Im no lawyer, though. She lives about an hour out in greater Minnesota, and wants me to drive over there, return it, and have my brother then bring me back to the city. She doesnt even want to see me at all.Parents divorced, dad moved to Germany for work, when I was 10. He was always great to me. I have not seen him for two years my mom is awful to him, and duh, overseas, and I have not told him yet. Hell, if hes okay with it, and can furnish me a plane ticket...I am willing to relocate temporarily.  <response>: Didnt Germany just announce free college for everyone? Might be worth looking into relocating there if it works out with your dad.
