I've come to find out that most of my family views me as a disappointment. I like being part of a successful family, but the double-edged sword of it is that it's so much easier to be the black sheep.
I'm often reminded by them that I'm the only one of my brothers who hasn't finished college (or isn't currently attending). I also don't have a car and am forced to use my mom's to get to my jobs.
I'm trying my best (working 40-50 hours a week), but my mom already wants me to move out (after only being back for about a month). I have very little time to look for a car and if I pay her the ridiculous amount of rent money she wants, I won't even have the money for a car.
*Sigh* I just don't know what to do. I hope I don't end up homeless but I could see that happening since I would have no where to go and not enough money to afford my own place & car. =/

I kinda know how ya feel there even though my family right now isn't trying to get rid of me I have always been seen as a black sheep because i don't do things like normal people. I hope for the best for you and that either your able to get out and be on your own or your mother realizes that even though you might not be as successful as your bros that your just as valuable. You just might take a little more time I'm sure you'll make something of yourself.
Through out my whole life i have been told many times that I will never amount to anything even now my uncle on a daily bases still tells me I will not make it and i should just give up now, but right now I just bought my first car I'm finally on the right track in my college life, and if i play my cards right I'll be moving out in a year.
All you got to do is do your best and you can change your life around just like I did. It might not be as easy as it was for me but you can't give up. sorry if my advice upsets you at all i sometimes tend to do that cat_sweatdrop

I am doing my best and that's what frustrates me.
She thinks that just because I suddenly have 2 jobs now that I should be able to move out. I just started them mid-July so I've only made $91 so far. And I've spent much more than that on groceries and gas since I've been here.
I know getting a car & apartment should be my #1 priority but it's annoying how she's constantly barging into my "room" (an otherwise unused corner in the basement) and if I'm not actively looking for a car/apt, she tells me I should be (and hints that I'm a disappointment). As if I shouldn't have ANY free time at all.

sounds a lot like my one friends mom. I can understand how that is. Your 1# priority should just to save up and figure out what your going to do. That's how i have worked threw things though i understand with someone always breathing down you neck it makes it hard to figure out anything.
I really hope for the best for you, and i would suggest just trying your best to stay forced and keep at it.
