    I probably wouldn’t ask, I think it’s enough that they let me live here and have me on their phone plan for free, so I don’t ask them for cash. they aren’t exactly wealthy, though they’ve got boomer privilege and own a home, they are retired working-class people

      okay. let me just convey, i mean to come to you with compassion:

      asking your parents to borrow a car, or for gas money, so you can start taking the steps to move on with your life and out of their house, wouldn’t be a imposition, it would be a gift. if you’re serious about making things easier on your parents (financially, psychically), then it’s time to take some responsibility and swallow your pride, and make some moves (easier said than done! surely! but it’s within your control and you’re stronger than you know).

        I do have access to a car and still have some money of my own, so I don’t need to ask for cash just yet. It’s hard to justify spending it without any income, though tbh running out of funds might help light a fire under my ass lol. but yeah, I do need to start making some moves before it gets too dire
