Paying for moving out

Donation protected

EDIT: This has been edited to fit with the new agenda of the gofundme. Originally, it was made to help with me getting top surgery and moving out, but thanks to recent family related issues, the priorities have drastically changed and this gofundme has be changed to solely be  for moving out. 

Hi so uh, for starters my name is Lance, and I'm trying to get money to afford moving out of my toxic household, which I may end up losing soon due to a divorce my parents are going through that may end with my father unable to financially support us living here.

My Story

To start this off, I live with a family that is very mentally taxing. When it comes to my mental health, I'm usually told that 'it's just an excuse' or to not use my mental health as a reason as to why I can't do certain things. I have schizoaffective disorder, not to mention as I was raised, I was spoiled and practically hindered. I'm unable to care for myself properly since they insist on doing it for me or yelling at me if I say "I'll do it later" (which turns into me not doing it again due to the need to seperate myself from them and calm down) Before when I had made this gofundme, my main issue was that I was unable to get a job due to my family insisting that I needed my GED before I could get a job. While this is true, and I never once turned down the idea of getting it, I always wanted to pay for it on my own accord with the money I earned from a job. However, this always backfired on me seeing as either the jobs would run me around in circles, or my parents would belittle me and yell at me for not "doing things properly". Nowadays however, that's no longer the main focus of my 'issue' now seeing that I have less than 2 months to gather money to move out and away from this house. When that time hits, my mother will take my father to court and will ask for alimony along with half of what our current house is worth.  My father has no way of giving her these funds, and is now trying to focus on making sure that my aunt and I will be alright if things hit the fan even more than they already are.

Regarding that, I'm pushing forward with the plan I already had which is moving in with my boyfriend. He lives in the Philippines, as mentioned below, and due to that a good amount of this money is for the plane ticket and me getting my passport and all of the other papers that will be needed, along with holding us over until I'm able to find a job while there.

Where the money will go

The money I end up raising will be going towards me moving out and locating to where my boyfriend is, that being the Philippines. It will be used to help get me to the location, and helping with generally needed things that come with owning an apartment/house.

Honestly...

This is something I've been wanting to do for years now, seeing that my family life has ever so slowly been losing that 'family feel' that one is supposed to have. While this would be fine if this hadn't been progressively falling for years. Not to mention that even getting help when it comes to a surgery like this, I wouldn't receive the help I would need financially wise and would most likely not get the proper recovery time I need.

Any and every dollar I can get will help me and to any and everyone who donates, thank you a lot! I can't possibly explain how much this means to me, even sharing it wherever you can is more enough to help, so once again, thank you!
