Ok so, I've been dealing with my "mother's" crap most of my life and I'm sick of her insulting me everyday. I stood up for myself and now I need a home. She's kicking me and my child out. I can't get assistance for some reason, don't have my license, no one to stay with, and no job. I've applied at a lot of places and no luck, I'm really trying. I've been looking for things to do online, I've been sending auditions in for singing competitions and modeling agencies and still nothing. I even looked at webcam modeling but I think my daughter would hate me for that. I was looking for a vocal coach, since I stay with this woman, no one can come here and she won't take me or watch my daughter so I can go. She belittles me daily to the point of not wanting to be here anymore. Idk what to do anymore. Help?

I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time. Since you have a child to support, have you considered applying for work outside of singing or acting or modeling? Do you already have experience in those fields? Those are very difficult careers to get into, to succeed at and to pursue to make a viable living. Since you say you don't have child care, in order to get a vocal coach and take lessons, maybe it would benefit you to do some other kind of work until you can set aside a bit of savings for child care and then get a vocal coach at that time? I wish you luck. I was a single parent of two at one point in my life and I know how hard it can be.

I'm trying to get a local job and I'm not having much luck, and haven't for two years now. Singing and acting are my strong points, I'm not going to waste my talent. I have experience singing, I know it's not easy to break into. I took up theatre so I have a little acting experience. My mother is home a lot and can watch her, she just chooses not to to get back at me. Thanks, I'm going to need a lot of luck. Two? Oh my! Congrats! :] It's hard but worth it.

WOW!!! You do have issues with your mother! It seems that the first thing you need is to find a job. You don`t specify in your profile whether you are a man or a woman. But you say you are 19 and that`s a small age to have a daughter, to job and no licence (what sort of licence do you need?).

I'm an androgynous female. I don't have my driver's license. I'm an aspiring singer.

Wow queengreen0 I truly hope you can find a job, and another place to stay you sound like you really got it bad, with your mother and she is putting, you down like this, I don't think no one want to be, around a person like this, and she probably don't have a man in her life either, that wouldn't be surprising.

I'm trying. No one likes her but the people she works with. Actually, she's married, for the second time. -.- he's a brainless push over. He does everything she tells him to. Even if she's not home. He wouldn't even talk me out to the store to get milk just because my mom wasn't home. She gets off at 6 pm I waited all day for her to say no because he's a lazy, fat, brainless, slob.

I got tired of holding it in all the time. I door was not enough to drown her insults out so I snapped. She's crying in the other room. Idgaf! She should've thought about that when she abused me, when she told her friends I was retarded, when she beat me in front of my friends outside as punishment, when she decided to tell me in front of people at WalMart that she never wanted me. I'm sick of her. She wasn't there most of my life, don't try to be a "mom" now. :/

Thanks. I'm looking for anything with singing or acting. I'm sick of modeling agencies wanting me to slim down to a size 4-8. I'd look disgusting that size. I have curves in all the right places, I'm fit the way I am. Not going to risk dying just to model. I just need to find a local vocal coach before pursuing singing as a career. Happy myLotting :) hehe I like that

Sounds like there's a lot of troubled water under the bridge here, and it's been that way for some time. Like you, I wish you could have dealt with this sooner, long before you had your child. Have you ever tried asking your mom why she seems to "hate" you so much? It doesn't help that you're now 19, with a child, and living under her own roof, with what appears no job prospects on the horizon. If your relationship is salvageable, could you try & make nice with her? If not, then you'll need to get some backbone & move out, for your child's sake, at least. Do you have any government-funded or non-profit housing in/near your area that you could access? Do your BEST to get ANY job for now - it doesn't have to be a singing/modelling career right away, which are very competitive. If your skills need honing, that'll take time to develop. Look into retail stores, restaurants, etc. - you might need to make face-to-face visits, not just send resumes out (if this is all you've done so far). Try & apply again for government assistance - will be praying about it. (Helps too if you could do the same, or go to a church there & ask for help) If you wish, you could tell me where you're at exactly (Columbia, SC or MO?) in the US, and I'll help you look for opportunities.

What has made your mom to behave like this? Maybe she has other problems which she is bothering her that she let it out on you. I know that she should not do that, but have you tried talking to her calmly? It is hard to be on your own most especially that you have a kid that still needs supervision. I hope that both of you could patch things up and start all over again.

Talk to 'Human Resources' (I forget the name of the government employment-agency), and tell them your situation--need work to afford a home, work to which you can bring your daughter (at which point the councilor will ask you questions like 'how old is your daughter?' 'you don't think that's old enough to be home alone?' etc.)--and work it out. My city (Oklahoma City, and so I guess a lotta other cities are the same way) puts out a lot of 'employment'-newsletters, and I'm sure there are a lot of employment-websites. Do some searching. (I didn't mention that first, because it's been a long time since I was 'a brick in the wall'---slavin` for a paycheck.) In fact--especially if you have any Degrees (Bachelor's, Master's, Doctorates)--you might even work out a deal with a apartment-complex owner or management-company to work in management & live on the property. Singing & modeling etc. are really jobs you should only try if you're "set" for money (e.g. married to someone who provides that, resting comfortably in family-employment or -money, etc.)

that's really hard.. first things first you should look first for a job even not in line of your interest of singing just to have an income to start with, probably need to eat up your pride then get back to that pride when things will get better thinking about everything the only matter as of now is to have an income easy to destroy that to compose, free yourself from worries even it's hard to think smart on what to do and everything will follow, maybe u can find your opportunity in singing or modelling when in somehow you have provide your expenses esp. that u have a child with u, I hope I was able to help u from my advice

I think maybe U R really tired about life,is it right?My mom blamed me everyday too,she always can't see my advantages. You said you've been sending audtions in for singing competition?So you must love singing,you must have a sweet voice,it's quite a rich gift from god.Maybe you can make full use of this. Webcam modeling?NoNoNo,never do this,now you have to do is to hold on and try again,again,even you've try a hundred times.I believe you can make it!(BS) God bless you and your lovely daughter!
