I wish to leave home but dont have money to go. How do I convince my mother to buy my plane ticket?

It is imperative I leave my house as soon as possible preferably in a week or so. I am 23 and my bday is coming up soon been very depressed lately about my life thought I would be further along etc. Anyway, I stay with my parents since I graduated college its been absolute hell--my dad is bipolar my mother disabled somewhat and its constant dysfunction. I feel as though I have burdened them my duration of staying at home. I never ask for money, when I did have a steady job I paid rent, I clean around the house and rarely use their things or eat their* food and follow their* rules. They are strict with good intent but I am no kid, I am an adult they ran my brother nearly crazy out of his mind. He moved to NYC with a lady friend and is struggling financially but rarely visits here. Its time for me to LEAVE. My mother knows I hate staying here. She said herself it would be good for me to stay with her mom. Thing is, I would need food for groceries and a way to get around. Grandma doesnt drive nor own a vehicle but has a house stays by herself wants me to stay.



My mother knows I want to visit but she does not fully understand my intent to pretty much leave home, period. Recently my dad stopped paying the bills which forces my mother to pay the bills so she is low on cash. I NEVER ask her or really anyone for money. The only other ppl I could think to ask would be my godmother who is planning to move and has an ill husband--cant do that, she does tons of things to help me all the time. My neighbor helped me during christmas so I would not even bring it up to her. My ex is someone I never asked b/c I just dont feel comfortable doing so but honest truth he is my only true friend these days, we are very close and I will miss him. Now I am desperate. Help. What am I to do? I am going to leave one way or another and would prefer to leave on good terms in a peaceful manner. The downside would be leaving angry the way my brother did.I wish to leave home but dont have money to go. How do I convince my mother to buy my plane ticket?
I feel awful that you are in such an ordeal but your best bet is to try to raise the money little by little. Perhaps have a garage sale this weekend and get rid of all the things you no longer use you can get extra cash and empty your closet if you plan to leave is final make it a moving out sale, see if you can get a very short term temp assignment that lasts like a week and do direct deposit so the money will be in your account on your card already, ask around to friends and family if you are comfortable with doing so for $10 or $20. I looked it up depending on when you get your flight its only going to cost but so much and should not be too costly if you book it sooner than later. Perhaps it can be an early birthday gift for someone to give you. Maybe your mother will be more willing to help if she sees you have spotted a decent job opportunity in the area. Just try to hold out at least until the month comes to its end, if you go then you will be able to get a better deal on your plan fare...you will also need money for food and if you desire to go out, do any shopping etc...you will need cash on hand when you go. Do not burn any bridges consider having a back up plan if going away is not all its cracked up to be. You need a good bit of money to start out even if you are staying with family members you do not want to rely on them for everything but they can provide you rent free shelter until you get on your feet. Your ex is willing to visit, thats a nice gesture but brace yourself to move forward and make new friends...
