Is it normal i'm waiting outside?

I'm steeling myself in the van and it's freezing cold, but I can't go in yet because I'm sick of the arguing, the slamming doors, and loud sex of the tenants here. I know I need to go in soon so I don't get sick, I'm working up my courage to just deal until my family and I can get tf out of dodge. It's been 3 hours. The sound of cars going by is calming. My phone battery is holding up well.

    I don't know if it's "normal," but you're not alone. A lot of people are living in unpleasant situations, and sometimes it's just too much. Take the extra time if you're not ready to handle it yet. I hope it's not a daily occurrence for you.

    Obviously I don't know the details of your situation...do you have a long term plan to get out of there? If you don't, I think having an exit strategy would really help get through the day to day drama. Knowing it won't last forever, knowing when it'll end, should make it easier to take. You said you don't want to abandon them, but you can't help them forever. Try to talk to them about it, tell them how unhappy you are and that you're going to be leaving eventually. Help them figure out a way to support themselves without you. And maybe it'll help things if they know how unhappy you are.

    Good luck!

      Yes, knowing that I won't be here past Feb of next year helps me a lot.

    Get some camping gear in that van. You'll be warmer and less likely to get sick.

        Get a foam pad, or at least a sheet of Styrofoam to lay on.

      Or not. I'm not crazy I just don't find it necessary to blow the hinges every single time.

          I'm helping save/make money, I wouldn't just abandon them. Plus my relatives are all far away.

            We all need to do what we must do, who are you helping save money? With who are you living and who is constantly argueing?

            If the neighbours are loud when they have sex, you could use that noise to dampen your own masturbation noises? That way you can use their noises for inspiration!

            As far as living in a shitty environment goes, I am sure we have all experienced that some point in our lives. We should just get motivated to improve our situation and get something better!

            Remember that life owes you nothing, you achieve in life what you put into it!

            Sometimes moving out and starting afresh gives you a better perspective?
