Okay, i might as well start at the beginning.... im 17, just turned 17 on march 6th, my mother died in september, I was at work, came home and found her dead in her room from a heart attack. Ever since then i have been living with my cousin. I haven't talked to anyone about my feelings, just kept them bottled up. Well, yesturday i randomly went through my cousins phone, because i know her boyfriend doesn't like me and i wanted to see if they talked about me, and there was messages between them of her boyfriend basically saying he hated me, hated me living in his house, and was sick of living with me. He also was talking my cousin into, and im quoting him on this one " Kicking his ass out" After viewing this and telling my cousin about i offered to move out with a friend of mine who is getting a house... I get 700 $ a month from SS, and i work part time...What should i do? Should i try to stay at my cousins? Move out? Im so depressed...i already tried killing myself by taking 14 pain killers... It didn't work, all i did was get sick ... A weak attempt i know, but im not man enough to slit my wrist or jump out of my window.... i need some help, im so depressed and confused...Please, someone talk to me...someone give me advice...anybody

sorry you're having troubles
it's always tough living with relatives. Think of what you'd be happier with- dealing with this siuation or moving? I'd move. And sweetie, you're so young. You've lost your mom. I lost my dad at yr age; you should find a grief counselor. They help, they really do. Also, you can talk to me. I've been thru losing my parents, my husband and 2 brothers. I care about you. It'll be okay, but you need room to feel yr feelings without being judged for it. I don't think it's healthy for you to stay there. Good luck and God bless you. You've got a lot to deal with, but look at all you've got to offer, too. You'll be okay. Smile

when my 78 year old aunt died i mourned for four months, then my boyfriend committed suciside. i didnt even know he was depressed. so for another four months i isolated myself from the world, so a total of 8 months i was so hurt.
you have to find a place where your comfortable and you know that your welcome. dont put yourself in a worse living situation trying to move away from your cousin.
ps. it's good that you know the truth but you had no right reading her text mess.
