I have lived with my parents so far. Now I'm a single mother with no job and mom is making my life miserable (as always) even though I appreciate what she does for me and lover her, she is real evil, I am a full-time student in college, single mother of a 6 month baby, I receive food stamps and week, but I want to move out and what scares me is the economical situation we are going through. Any ideas on how to become more independent and being able to move out without putting at risk my baby's well being?
 
check into subsidized housing in your area. if you are on food stamps you most likely qualify
 
You should think about were your moving to, were you can find a BETTER job and most of all you really need to get allot of money.
 
I heard that!! I had a baby at 17 and moved out at 18.Now at 26 my mother lives WITH ME!!! It's inescapable!! =(But your best bet is to either work or apply for housing (which can literally take years)Honestly, the best thing you could probably do is stick it out and finish school. I never did and I STRUGGLE with average paying office jobs. It's scary. Get that degree so you can get that money!!!Good luck
 
How evil can she be if she lets her ADULT daughter live with her?Just finish school (hopefully its in health care or education as those are very stable right now), find a job, and move out. The consider repaying your mom.
 
I don't know what you mean by she is evil? As long as she isn't abusive, using drugs or doing anything illegal or immoral I think you should just ride it out. The economy is in the toilet. Welfare is a trap that is hard to get out of. Education is your only way to a better life. Do your best to make things easier. Clean up, cook, and thank her for letting you and the baby stay with her. Keep smiling. Four years to a degree will go by very quickly but last you a life time of security. Food stamps and government housing won't.Best wishes for you and your baby!
 
Single mom's become independant by being able to support themselves and their children.Get a good paying job, daycare assistance if you need it, and file for child support. The degree will help greatly, though you still need skills that wont come with the degree.
 
Well the decision is yours, but I think it would be best to continue living with your parents until you finish school and can get a job and really afford to move out. If you try to move out now, I think you will end up struggling alot, you'll probably end up living in a bad neighbourhood with lots of drugs, violence, shady people; and that's not good for you or your baby. There's not alot of info in your question about HOW your mom makes your life miserable, so I don't really know what to say. If you want to be more independant, just make sure you aren't relying on your parents for everything. Living with your parents is very different from living OFF your parents.
