[quote=Anonymous]1. Your school has a counseling center. For example, at UDC, http://www.udc.edu/csdc/services. Google the name of your school and counseling. Call them immediately and make an appointment for counseling. You are poor, alone and abused. You need help, don't be afraid of counseling. You need to go to counseling at least once a week until you are back on your feet.

2. Your grandmother will never trust you to pay the rent. Why? Because she probably lent money to your mom and dad for rent and they used it for something else. It is not about you. Continue to give her the money and let her pay rent. It's not that she does not trust you it is that she does not trust anybody.

3. You need to get a grant or loan or scholarship. Hopefully, your counselor can help you with this but if they can't contact your academic advisor for help.

4. Most people don't talk to their parents a whole bunch when they are at college, mostly they call every Sunday to check in. Call you grandmother every Sunday night, tell her you love her and you appreciate her and that you are working your hardest to be on your own. Ask her how her week was and listen to her complain. Tell her something positive that happened to you that week. Keep the negative stuff for your counselor. Keep it short and sweet. Tell her you love her and appreciate her before you hang up. Say a prayer every time you hang up, I know the negative and abusive words are hard but you can do this.

5. Good Luck! Many of us have done exactly what you are doing, nobody... nobody did it on their own. I have worked since I was 12, I paid for my college, I have always supported myself and I do now but I would never... never.. never say I did it on my own. Everybody needs a teacher, mentor, friend, family, somebody to help them at some point in their life. IT'S OKAY TO NEED HELP.

6. You said that you have been "babied" up until now and you want to mature. You will but you need counseling. 23 is just barely an adult and most of the people on this site were not mature at 23.

Good Luck! [/quote]
