I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE I CAN TAKE!!!!!

I have GOT to get out of here!!! They are driving me nuts. They keep demanding more and more. They don't seem to understand I am leaving and need to keep a little money. They now have a $2 charge on doing Laundry and taking showers!!
 
Oct. 5th can NOT come fast enough!!!!

All I want is on that bus ASAP!!

Man, I just want to go home so bad I can taste it!!!

ADD) As I say in Post 3, it would not be so bad if they were not getting the lion's share as it is. And To finish paying them off, I need to keep me and try to keep my only pair of Kakis looking good.

Well, water costs money, and soap too.  Also, there's the depreciation on any machinery and plumbing that's used.  And someone, probably not Amber, has to clean out the shower that she uses; there's the cost of labor and cleaning materials involved here.

I don't see anything wrong with her sisters charging her.

2. I just need Oct. 5th. to hurry up and come so I can get on the Bus back to Tucson!

My 'family is try a new approach at getting more money out of me.

They know I have a ticket and they don't like it. One sis was expecting me to take over here trailer payment over and pay it of for her.
 
Fat Chance!

I am not going to pay off her home for her. She says it is the lest I can do since I abandoned the family to go to school.
 
COME ON Oct. 5th.

3. It would not be that much if I had it to spare.

But with having to pay them so much already, I don't have it to spare!

They are getting the lion's share as it is. And to finish paying them off I need to keep clean and to try and keep the only pair of Kakis looking good. But they want to get what they can and to hell will everything else.

4. Is there any other place that you can go?

Are there any hotels/motels/YWCAs or whatever in you area that offer a weekly rate that might be less then what you are paying your family? I don't know if Craig's List or any other sites might have information on people looking for roommates. Or can you post somewhere on line that you need a short term boarding situation for just a few weeks.
 
Edit to add - I would not blame you if you turned your back on these people once you are able to return to Arizona.

She keeps bitching about having to pay her family off but never mentions what for.  I expect they sent her money to come home but that wouldn't take the "majority" of her meager paycheck.  They certainly know how to drive her nuts though.  I'm guessing this is payback for her lording her education over them.

IIRC, there used to be a rendering plant south of Joplin. But maybe the tornado got it instead of her......

$2 is still probably less than using a laundromat.  The shower charge seems weird, but maybe she is taking ridiculously long showers and raising the water bill, or she just plain isn't pitching in as they expect, and so they've resorted to fees.

I know Pilot has showers, maybe Love's as well.  Yes, there is a fee to use them... someone has to clean up the place.

Camping grounds in kalifornia charge 25 cents per 90 seconds, 3 quarter minimum for 4.5 minutes. If the government does it shouldn't her sisters? All is good from government according to every single DUchebag.

Her family did pay for the bus ticket back to Joplin when Dave and Chad tossed her out on her left ear. One of her sisters posted on Facebook that she was happy to have her sister back there last July. I think they're now trying to recoup their losses and know exactly what Amber is up to - she wants to go back there and reconcile with Dave no matter what she says otherwise.

She's a primitive. This would have zero effect on her finances as they don't take showers. Hence, no expense.

Thats it. She contributes NOTHING for her upkeep. I'm betting she does no housework either.

As she's riding the bus back to AZ.....maybe she should open the window, stick her head out and shout, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."......SPLAT....the mirrors on an oncoming semi truck will solve all her problems.

Amber's sis Crystal is a pretty rough-looking character. If she says it's two bucks for a shower, Amber better pay up. But whoa, Amber will shower away forty bucks between quitting her job and when she buses off to the Tucson flophouse. That's a day's pay. Then she's got that one pair of khakis to launder.

Did she ever say why she had to wait until October to leave? Is she waiting for that Wishadoo! stash to grow? Why not take her bus ticket, unspendable ten-dollar debit card, put mom's groceries in a doggy bag, and take off now? Next week, she could be back in Dave's loving bony arms. Or maybe not.

I know Pilot charges $13 for a private shower room.  If she buys $50 in fuel, she can get a free shower, though.

But the girl doesn't even know how to drive.

Let her take the bus... she sounds too unstable to be behind the wheel.

Whoa--thirteen bucks for a shower?

8. If it were me, this is what I would do...

I would realize that these people aren't going to let me go without a fight. I would not give them any more money. I would take my money and find a short-term place to live until October. I would take my shit and go, no telling them, no forwarding address. If I needed an address for mail, I rent one of those private mailboxes and fill out a change-of-address with the USPS.
 
Then, once I got to Arizona and found a place to live and a job and felt secure, I would send payments to my family - maybe.

9. Oh, I have thought of that as so have they.

I am out in the woods basically. It is a very rule Trailer park. I have no transportation save dad's car.
 
And if I do do that they will call the cops on me and get me for not paying them. Not sure what trouble that will cause.
 
I do have a name for a taxi service but it will cost $25 for them to come and get me.
 
So I am thinking of using the PayPal that I set up to try and hide some from them. But it still will be very little for me.

11. As I said beatable yes.

But the he said she said is the killer. As in was it a personal debt or thief. I have seen them lie to the police before to cause people trouble. And they have pulled stuff to me like this before, a long time ago, but they have and will do it again.
 
Stupid me for believing they have changed over time.

And My job ends the 14th. so I get to be stuck out here with them.

Uh, franksolich has a question.

She's leaving for Tucson on October 5.

Her last day at the convenience store is September 14.

She needs money.

Why is she quitting three weeks before taking off?

Or, conversely, why isn't she leaving for Tucson on September 15? Why October 5?

I wonder if Dream Boy Dave knows her plan.
