Forced in to college and now 10 grand in debt
I need help. What would you fo in this situation?
This is a long story that I'm going to shorten extremely. If theres any more information you need please comment.
Basically:
I graduated high school. Wanted to take a break year, didn't know what I wanted to study anyway. My mother agreed and knew that I wanted to wait before just going in to college. Dad wouldnt have it. Signed me up for college against my will with the threat of kicking me out of home, taking my car, taking many of my personal possessions, among other things. (Mind you I had a job but not one that could support me, i could barely pay for gas). He made me apply to the school. I tried to delay turning certain papers in so i didnt have to go. He called the college personally himself and managed to get my application in without my consent. Semester starts. And if I didnt go I would be kicked out of home and more or less disowned. So i "went". I sat in the library and studied animation on the computer. Didnt go to the classes that were completely useless for the field of work i want to fo in and not helpful to life skills in any way. I had pretty much dropped out before i even went to a class. Did i mention that he forced me to go yet didnt pay for a single cent what so ever. And that i was trying to save money to go abroad to Australia? Whelp. With the help of my boyfriend. I ran away to Australia. But I am literally $10,000 in debt for classes I didn't attend once. For being forced to sign up for a course i had no interest in and wasnt the correct one for what I want to go in to. It was literally just art. Thats it. I am $10 grand in debt. For fucking art classes that I didnt attend. For a college i never wanted to go to. For something that was in no way a part of my life plan. Or was even close to being able to help as a backup plan. And its because of the threats of my father to kick me out of home and disown me if I didn't go to college and somehow manage to pay for it myself with my $8.40 per hour job that I only got MAYBE 7 hours a week at. He also wanted me to pay $200 rent a month on top of paying for my schooling and gas myself.
It is one thing to try and prepare your child for the realworld. But to practically cause them to be completely broke (and knowing that they actually could not get a better job at that moment in time) and threatening to kick them out for not paying rent or going to college right off the fuxkig bat for something they didnt want to do in the first place oe mfkanmnflsbfpqvkfns aaarrhghgh.
Basically. I am $10,000 in debt for my father being an asshole. (Its one thing to want your kid to go to college, but to take their small amount of savings from them and force them to go to college and put them in that much debt and not even help in the slightest to pay for a single damn thing like gas to even be able to make it to the school or work for that matter. Youd run away too if you had my dad as a father. There was a lot more emptional abuse behind all this besides just the threats and college issues. Which im greatly pissed off about all of it. Argh anyways.)
What the hell am I supposed to do with this $10,000 debt?????
That is my question after all this. What can I do. I'm only 20. My credit is ruined, my family life, my emotional stability, im fucking depressed half the time. My possibility of getting in to the college i really want to in the future is pretty crap. This has affected so muxh negativiely. How do i fix this. I have absolutely no idea where to start.
