What will I do

I wrote a post last night trying to explore what to do today. I wanted to pack a bag and leave home and check in somewhere.

This is because I live at home with my mother and she's in a major OCD and hostile mode. Some sort of phyoatic spell or something like a dementia. God only knows what. She is so incredibly intense. As soon as she's finished with breakfast she just goes bang and moving furniture and rearranging things and she spent over two hours in the small bathroom cke sing yesterday which was then followed by control freak demands. The place is not filthy.

She was no OCD when I was small.

Late last night a packed a bag with everything I would need - laptop, chargers, change of clothes. My plan was to go and check in somewhere.

Then this morning, it was lashing rain and I didn't want my belongings getting wet.

So I packed smaller for the day just to leave for the day and return home at night time.

I am so exhausted and I have a migraine now too.

I am out of the house. I am away without any stay over bag.

I am thinking about checking in without my gear. There is a lock shop nearby where I could buy a toothbrush.

What do you think?

I have nothing else with me. No change of clothes.

Or will I stay away all day and return at night time.

She's an old age bully and that's all she is.

Oh come on, let’s be realistic here

If she's homeless through no fault of her own of course she can if she has nowhere else to stay

Have you got money and a job? I haven’t seen your other threads but it sounds like there are complicated long standing issues. If you want things to change you have to change things. I know that’s not very inspired but just make a decision and then act on it. If you want a better life get your own place and live independently.

She is a single adult in employment in full health and in no immediate danger whatsoever
to say the chances of her receiving emergency accommodation is low would be quite astonishing understating it

Sorry OP but I don't understand why, if you're a grown woman with your own money, why you have to run away and not just move out?

I agree OP should move on but family members can be really rehabilitating, it can really dent you
