Not sure if this goes in help desk or mental health but I might be stuck in the middle of Nowhere Kentucky.

I live with my grandparents. They are homophobic, transphobic, racist, all of that nasty stuff. I really REALLY do not want to be with them for the previously mentioned reasons and a LOT more that I'm not really in the mood to talk about right now and I don't think are allowed to be discussed in this server. So I plan on moving out when I get the chance. Problem with that is they won't let me get a job because they get this check due to me being diagnosed with autism when I was three and them thinking I'm too "low functioning" and have too many "anger issues" to get a sustainable enough job and the moment I get a job they don't get the check anymore so they won't let me get one. It's not like I could just drive myself to get a job because I don't have a driver's license, I can't get a driver's license because of the same reasons (besides the check of course), I don't think I can just bike due to the distance I'd have to go to get anywhere and the terrain isn't exactly super bikable, and I can't just walk for the same reasoning (besides the bikable part).

Kind of lost on what I should do in the future. Obviously I'm too young to leave currently (16, 17 in 4 months) but I do wonder how I'd leave when I AM actually old enough and it has been getting on my nerves for quite a while now.
The only reasonably possible options I have that I can really think of are:

A. Getting someone else to help me out of this place so I could actually try to get a source of income and be self sustainable.

B. Going homeless.

C. Giving up.

I’m like 30 minutes away from Lexington and it’s still hell, like it’s truly just feeling like the middle of nowhere

#

But yeah I get the feeling. They can’t stop you from getting a job at 18, that’s on them and they’ll probably lose the check by then anyways

I’m stuck in a hybrid program at school because I beat the hell out of a kid for (TW ig?) || telling me to off myself|| so yeah I’m also pretty trapped and I know how you feel. I might not be able to directly get you out of where you are, but know that I’m here for you if you need someone to keep you going until you figure it out

Not like he was a “kid”, buddy was a damn near adult telling someone who’s suicidal to do that so deserved but still

#

Anyways yeah sorry I go on tangents

That's perfectly fine. I like to hear other people's stories as well.

Normally I’m more articulate but it’s 9:00 pm so I’m not fully here
