hi, i'm so sorry i deleted my last post abt this, i got overwhelmed and scared about the whole thing but the situation is still very much here and got worse. i'll re-explain here though.

tw: abuse/transphobia/ableism mentions

hi, i'm dave. i'm a disabled autistic trans gay man who lives in a transphobic, ableist, and overall abusive household. i came out to my family about being trans about 3 years ago (not by choice) and they reacted poorly and essentially forced me to shove it down and pretend. recently, my mother found out i go by dave/david by checking my bank account transactions (yes she still has access bc she is a micromanager) and flipped out on me. this resulted in a multitude of things, namely her deciding if i want to transition i'll be cut off financially, lose my right to live at our home, and lose a relationship with my family. not only this, but i was screamed out by my father and genuinely felt terrified for my life with how angry and horrible he was acting. my mom has been abusive my entire life, as a note, so i've been wanting to leave for some time but due to being disabled, unable to drive, and not in a place to leave, i have stuck it out here. but now with this over my head, i have no choice. my dysphoria is severe and impact my mental health greatly so i cannot continue to go on like this.
as of last week, i got the news that i will no longer be allowed to continue college "until they deem me ready" because of some ableist reasoning regarding my "mental progression and mental capability of handling adult things". i never wanted to go to college but i was forced to go by them. i was finishing my associate's by summer and now i am not going to be allowed to transfer to get my bachelor's despite this being an ultimatum they gave me when i graduated high school since they said they wouldn't support me if i did not go to college. i'm sure you can see the pattern here.
ultimately, i have to prioritize my mental health and safety so i am leaving by july. i need a lot of money for this since i'll need to travel and have enough to keep myself doing well until i secure a job wherever i end up.

so, commissions and donations are open permanently until i figure this out. i do have a queue so i will need a LOT of patience with working on everything.
if you cannot do either of those, please share this bulletin + 
my twitter post here. 

thank you so much as always and i will try my best to keep this post up until i'm in a good position, i'm just incredibly scared about this whole thing. <3
