First post on here, but can someone help me with this problem.
I live with my stepdad and he doesn’t understand my disabilities, which leaves me in a position where I struggle to answer back on the simplest questions and then I get blamed for not answering.
I get blamed because I can’t handle my money and I can’t learn certain things. Like I’m struggling to keep myself falling into depression and I have no idea what to do to help him understand.

You can self refer to some local organisation as well as social work or get a youth worker if you need one. Also look out for local self help courses on budgeting etc usually advertised at c a b or library. Good luck.0

Hi @TheArrow, I'm sorry to hear about what you've been facing.
If you're comfortable using the internet, you can find your local Citizens Advice by visiting their website here and entering your location. They may be able to help you get some support in place. You can also apply for a needs assessment by social services on this gov.uk page by entering your postcode. Hope this helps!0
