My mom is remarrying my abusive ex stepdad who hates me. I’m worried about this effecting my fafsa because of combined income. He would never help out with college and I haven’t lived with them ever!!! I dont know what to do. Me and my mom aren’t on the best terms either because I was taken away from her recently and now live on my own. Is there anything I can do??? Besides getting married and becoming independent???
“because I was taken away from her recently” by a court system or foster care?
How old are you? If you are over 18, who would have “taken you away”?
Where are you living?
You have another thread about not being able to afford RPI…so it sounds like college finances are an issue even with your mom NOT being married.
The notion that getting married and becoming independent is a good idea…is ridiculous. First of all…that’s not going to get you full funding for RPI even with a $0 EFC per FAFSA.
I think you might need to really think about your unaffordable college choice. Is there any way you could go to a community college part time, and work full time…and perhaps rent a room someplace or stay with a relative?
