Today, I was kicked out of my aunt's house for being 15 minutes late for her to pick me up. She told me she doesn't want me to come home and left me in a panicked mess. My sister and brother are on her side and refuse to talk to me. I'm now couch surfing. FML

Today, my mom got drunk and told me to leave the house because "I've been mooching off her for too long". I'm 14 and now am sleeping at my friends house. FML
Today, my brother and I were nearly made homeless by a good friend and roommate, because after repeatedly leading on my brother, and admitting she’s disrespected me all along, she and her boyfriend took off suddenly without a word of notice, leaving us to a house we can't afford alone. FML
Today, after hitting hard times and needing a place to stay, I'd asked my sister for help to which she sent me a paragraph-long response about how it would break their lease if they had people live there, leading me to sleep on a friend's couch, I found out our tweaker mom started staying at my sisters and didn't leave for 6 months.

Today, my crazy drug-addict mother kicked me out of the house after siding with my crazy, drug-addict aunt, who'd just threatened to slit my throat. FML
Today, my mom kicked me out of the house because I missed my curfew and overslept at my boyfriend’s house. She said she’d let me back in on one condition: that I was still a virgin. My boyfriend’s parents won’t let me live with him. I’m currently staying in the Walmart restroom. FML
Today, I got into a fight with my mom, and stormed out of the house. I walked two blocks before realizing that I have no place to go, and no friends to vent to. FML
Today, I came home to found all of my belongings out on the street. My roommate, who is also my brother, apparantly neglected to pay his part of the rent, and we got evicted. FML
Today, after being kicked out of my racist family, my boyfriend and I moved across the country to rent an apartment with my sister. My mother hates us so much she offered to buy my sister a new car to not take us in. FML

A: "Really late"? Fifteen minutes?! That's a blink of an eye. In a big school, having to go back to one's locker for a forgotten item could take 15min. Needing a washroom might take 15 sometimes. Sorting out a bit of drama among friends could also make a few minutes vanish. An hour is "really late". Fifteen minutes is "a little late". B: Blaming OP because apparently you think it's predictable for a strict guardian to react this way, & preventable? Rendering a minor homeless over a small inconvenience is insane. Even if OP knew their aunt was insane, that still doesn't make it OP's fault. And depending what caused their lateness, even that may have not been their fault. Certainly, if this was the millionth incident of lateness, or was for a foolish reason (OP was just chatting with pals), or on a day where the schedule was especially tight, anger would be appropriate. I can't imagine a circumstance where homelessness & excommunication would be a just punishment though.

It seems like there’s more to it than just you being late. If most of your family is against you, that says a lot about you as a person

You were really late for her to pick you up, if I read that correctly. If you’re still a minor it’s your fault. Some parents are strict like this. Unless it was something you couldn’t control. Always be ready a bit early for those types of angry people.

Except if they're still a minor and the aunt is their guardian, the aunt is breaking the law by throwing them out of the house. You can't toss a child in your care into the street with nowhere to go.

What the hell are you talking about? Being late might be OP’s fault, but not getting kicked out. That was a ridiculous and dangerous overreaction.

I see NONE of you have had strict parents or guardians. I WISH I could have been 15 minutes late and not had any extreme consequences. Welcome to the real world.

Your abusive situation isn’t the real world. I’m sorry that happened to you but that’s not normal.

If she was picking you up then how were you late for that as only she could be late to pick you up? There is more to this story than meets the eye.

Most likely he was supposed to be at a certain place to be picked up.
Mungolikecandy 19
It would make a bit more sense that way.

i think we definitely need some context, why did you need to stay with your aunt? did your parents kick you out? and i do think that being 15 minutes late while someone is going out of their way to pick you up is very rude. they made the effort to be on time and you clearly didn't. unless you had a good reason for being late, again, context.

15 minutes isn't a reason to kick someone out.
Suaria 38
Ya it is rude to be late for someone to pick you up, however kicking them out is an overreaction to someone being late.

Even if they are constantly late doesn't make it ok to make them homeless

So how many times had she warned you about being late? Way too much missing from your post!

You must have a perfect family with perfect relationships. Some families are toxic and terrible.

While I wouldn't bat an eye at someone I was meeting being 15min late (& thus I think she's a cruel control freak IF there was no other wrongdoing than this one brief lateness), the fact that everyone's siding with her (not speaking?! over a single incident of being slightly late!?) makes me suspect there actually was more wrongdoing. Maybe Aunt was going to an important event right after and had made OP promise they'd be on time, & them breaking that promise caused her to be late to a job interview, first date with her dream partner, or something else that really messed with her life. Or maybe this was the last straw after a million incidents of OP taking Aunt for granted & failing to treat her decently. But I know that controlling a-hole guardians not only exist, but are depressingly common (check out "raised by narcissists" subreddit), so I'm keeping an open mind that OP *might* be actually innocent.

Sounds like the last straw kinda thing to me

But yet she waited around for those 15 minutes just so she could tell you not to come home and leave. What?
The_candyman 13
if you had a way to let her know you would be late it's your own damn fault. just trying to make her look like the bad person here. take responsibility for your actions.

Sounds like being late is symptomatic if larger problems and maybe she’s just tired of your behavior. Are you an adult? If so, sounds like it was time to go.
