Im going to stay with my brother

So if one day you would get in and drive away, could she do anything about it?

Withholding your medications for any reason is medical abuse/neglect. You can call it in yourself. Or tell your mom you will call it in.

You can pick up your own medications at the pharmacy. Some pharmacies deliver. Call them and find out!

You are living on a trailer on your mom's property, but my guess is that you are still spending a lot of time with your mother and continuing with the various repetitive arguments you both have. This is not healthy.

Do not be homeless. This will make things much worse.

We all like you here. We all understand some of the things that can make our lives miserable.

If you present your brother with a plan, he might let you stay longer. He probably does not want to sign up for a lifetime of caring for you. In my experience, most siblings do not assist.

A plan: Call the phone numbers I gave you and apply for the George Developmental Disability Waiver. Get your Medicaid and ID in Georgia. Get a list of your doctors, when your appointments are and what medications you are on and why you are taking them.

For Medicaid appointments, the state usually provides transportation to and from doctors' appointments. It is not convenient, but it is there.

Take a driving class and get your license. Your social security money is for YOU, not for your mother. If you want money for a driving class she should give it to you. The instructor should pick you up from wherever it is you are living.

My camper isnt drivable, it's the type that has to attach to the back of a truck and be pulled.

Can you message me those phone numbers just in case I cam use them later? Clearly my brother and sister don't want to be any help so I'm going to have to figure out how to fight her on my own.

I would keep the trailer...

And don’t be stupid enough to be homeless. It’s hard to get out once you’re in that situation.

I guess I have no choice but to tolerate my mom. But for now on im distancing myself from her and I will be figuring out a way to live independently away from her.

I'm sure setting boundaries with your mom and working on obtaining everything you need to leave her are both good ideas!
Boundaries may help you both.

Sorry to hear what you're going through, TW1ZTY... There should be an advocate or someone from a local Autism Society there who can assist you in moving into your own accomodation, be it assisted living accomodation, or what have you. This should be the goal ... for both your and your Mom's sake. It might seem easier in some ways, to simply stay, as you feel there's no place else to go, but reaching out to organisations that are there for this very purpose, to support and assist with helping you to live as independent a life as is possible, could be the key...

If I lose my SSI benefits thanks to Trump I don't know what the f**k I'm going to do!

You should be okay, actually, if you have a documented bipolar diagnosis.

How would I go about finding out if its documented?

I guess I'd have to get my doctors and my medicaid swapped to Georgia...

If you’re getting SSI, it’s documented.

I think your camper is a camper trailer or maybe a 5th wheel. Either way, maybe your brother or sister knows someone who will relocate it for gas money (as a favor). Will they let you run an extension cord and use the facilities? You'd really only need to use the bathroom for #2 and the occasional shower. If you kept a cooler w/ice you could conceivably avoid using their kitchen. And add an electric blanket for night time, space heater for day time. There would be minimal contact, if you pulled it beside their house. It can't hurt to ask.

Also, some pharmacies offer delivery.

Whelp, im back home. Dealing with my mother's craziness.
