not doing gimmick. do not make the joke. i am only posting this here because i am desperate
i need help getting an id
so. my mom is mildly abusive. not the worst person in the world, but i was suicidal when i was barely even a teenager because of her (not really suicidal but i don't want to get into that shit here. i had a plan to hang myself. suicidal is close enough)
i have been trying to get away from her. she claims to want me out of the house. we seem to be on the same page on that
to get out of the house, however, i need a job
there's a problem with that
drivers license is completely off the table. i have too many things wrong with me to be capable of driving. (eye issues, coordination issues, mental illness severe enough that the thought of being in control of a fucking two ton death machine is enough to send me into a spiral, etc)
i need to get just a plain old id
i have asked my mom on multiple occasions to help me get the documents i need to get an id. she refuses every time
i just. really need help figuring out what i need and how to get it
i don't have a bank account, i don't pay bills, i don't pay rent, i don't have basically anything that i know counts as proof of address
i do have a birth certificate, but my mom will not tell me if it's the kind that actually counts as proof of legal presence
and i can't find anything that says what counts as "proof of identity". whenever i look it up it brings me back to the page on the dmv website that says what i need to get an id
the only thing i know for a fact i have is a social security number. that's it
i live in virginia. the documents have to be what counts here
can anyone older and smarter than me just please help me figure out what i can use to get an id and finally get a job and get out of this fucking house
i'll probably turn off reblogs on this post once i get what i need, and then delete it a few months after that
