A girl shared that she had struck group 2 from one of the recent TOTO draws and wanted to move out of her parents place but was told by her bf to stop daydreaming.
Here is the story that she shared:
I’ve been with my bf for 6 years. We do not live together. There’s 10 years between us, he being the older of us. He’s very rigid in his ways and a pessimist. He isn’t horrible to me. He doesn’t beat me or take advantage of me, but he is domineering , angry and rude. He is also an alcoholic. He drinks minimally a carton of beer a day and much more on his days off.
I was unemployed when we started seeing each other, taking care of my sick dad and enjoying my time with him. In the beginning he told me I needed a job, that he respected women who worked.
This was 6 years ago. So, I got a part time job in retail working in the evening. It took some time away from my dad, but my mum was also helping with his care, so splitting care- taking duties allowed me to start working.
Since then, my dad has passed and I have worked my way up to assistant manager. For the last three years I have been living in horrible conditions. My mum is a hoarder, and while it’s not as bad as some places it’s pretty bad.
Last year around Christmas, her brother (my uncle) came to live with us. He is well into his 70s and every day goes out being a karang guni to keep money in his pocket.
He then puts all the stuff he collected in the kitchen which eventually piled up, often filling the kitchen counter high.
My mum and I quarrels often about bills (my uncle doesn’t pay any) and I have been looking to move out.
I won group 2 in TOTO recently and decided to move out.
I called my bf to let him know that everything has already been confirmed and settled.
However, he was already drunk. He told me today that he didn’t understand how I was going to make it in my own place and demanded to know where I got the money to move, and how much was I making.
When I told him that I have won group 2 in one of the recent draws, he accused me of lying and daydreaming.
I was devastated after hearing it and am filled with anger now.
He told me there was no way I could afford to live by myself and that I’d never make it.
What if he’s right? What if I can’t? What if I end up moving back to my mum’s?
