Sis #1 & #2 just came up to me with the paperwork from my job that was in my backpack with how much I am really making.
And father says I now need to pay more to them since I am making $7.75 instead of $7.35. They said I need to learn I am not strong and I need them. They are thinking of 60% instead of 33% as discussed!
That is it! I put a request on Wishadoo to help with a ticket back to Tucson. At least there I can have buses, shelters (Joplin has 2, but one is only men and the other is full. No openings for 2 months they say) and less of being told I am a nothing, get use to it!
BOY! I should have known not to accept a Greek bearing gifts!

(68,644 posts)I don't think they are nice people, I think they are abusing you.
I wish you weren't alone and outnumbered like this and I hope you can get out of there and on your feet soon.

All I need to save as much as I can before Oct. and get out of here!
I was already looking into the request anyway. They just made it way easier to do!

(14,120 posts)They have a depot here in Joplin.
I am looking at Oct. 5 as the departure. That way I can pay them the rest I owe them. put in a two week notice on Sept. 18 and go. Hopefully, if they don't smudge it for me, I will have some money for when I get there.

(14,120 posts)Sadly Joplin lost there train station some time ago.
Closest is K.C or Tulsa I believe.
Thanks for the offer though!

(26,109 posts)If there's a route to where you're going the tickets can be *really* cheap bought that far in advance. Tickets are only sold online. Your family sounds absolutely toxic.
