<prompt> Human: Ill keep it short. Asshole dad picked a one sided fight with my mom this morning and kept yelling at her even though she didnt argue back. I got extremely pissed and yell at him. Being conditioned to react like the monkey he is he instantly start yelling at me to get the fuck out of the house and punched me in the head like 6-7 times as I started to leave. All I brought with me in the heat of the moment is my phone, and my wallet with my driver license and a debit card with around 8400 in it. Im a 20 year old male attending community college and I dont have a job. Strangely enough I do not regret anything or even mad. Getting the fuck out of that house was something I contemplated doing for years. Sometimes I truly wish my mom divorced that asshole so we can live in peace but it never happened; shes the type to hold it in so we can remain a family. My mom is still contacting me and trying to find me a new place to live but Im lost right now. Do you guys have any advice for me?Edit: Thank you so much for all of the replies guys. I am crashing on a friends couch right now. Him and his family immediately accepted my request and have been very supportive of my situation. I dont know what to do yet but it seems like my mom wants to find another place for me, her, and my sister. This is all speculative at the moment and yes I know I am very lucky to have 8400 to figure this out. I know I might regret not pressing charges as I decided that ultimately its not worth it. He did hit me but it wasnt enough to injure me. Trust me, if I felt I was in any danger I would have pushed him off and went to the ER to get checked out and pressed charges immediately. This doesnt mean I forgive him in the slightest and I do not plan to ever have anything to do with him again. Anyway, thanks for all support and sound advices. I will update this thread as soon as I find another living arrangement. Hopefully I will have this all resolve by then.  <response>: I had a similar situation at 18, but with only about 500 in the bank. First Id make sure your bank account doesnt have your parents on it, and if it does remove them. My folks tried to go after my account but I had luckily already removed them.Second Id talk to friends and try to find somewhere to crash for a bit while you figure out an income. For me this was pretty easy and I had friends and a grandparent that offered me housing.Next its time to figure out an income, if you can keep going to school at the same time great, if not you can always go back later. I took a retail job and was able to work my way up to management fairly quickly 6 months by giving a crap and being dependable.In my experience the relationship with my parents was eventually mended, we started talking again after a year or so, but things are never really going to be the same after something like this, so its all about working at it, and finding the new normal. Good luck man, this happens more often than youd think.Edit: Dont forget car insurance, I assumed my parents dropped me and went and got my own. if youre still talking to your mom you should ask if they are keeping you on their policy assuming you were already if you intend to drive.
