Unreasonable

Today, I am one year away from getting a university degree. Unfortunately, my parents just kicked me out because I wouldn't drop out and work for free at our family's gas station. I'm now broke, homeless, and have no way to pay for school. FML

No offense but your parents are idiots

well your parents are assholes. no real parent would do that, a real parent would make sure you graduate college and get a better job in order to be more successful then them.

Even if they "reacted out of anger," what OP's parents did was probably one of the most blatant cases of abuse I've seen on the site. They tried to not only isolate and limit OP, but attempted to exploit them, then literally abandoned them because OP didn't want to be exploited. Moving back in with them would be a horrible choice to have to make, and would likely result in an escalated repeat. Believe it or not, the "forgive everyone or you will always be miserable uwu" shit is just that- it's a load of shit that tells people that their mental wellness is less important than giving someone another chance to take advantage of them.

Why the hell would they kick you out to begin with?

Sorry this happened OP, just persevere and you'll get through it.

Try and go for a bursary- if your college offers that kind of financial aid. Good luck!

that sucks... i really hope you have found some place to live, and of not, try to call a friend or find a homeless shelter, and try to get some money by getting a job good luck OP, im sorry your parents are assholes

Hey OP, I recommend you go on the personal finance subreddit on Reddit and post your problem there. They are very helpful there and this type of thing happens very often

that is Web-based funding right? if so, I completely agree. even come back and post it here. fml is worldwide, so we can spread the word.

The parents reacted out of bullshit End

You could divorce your parents and get financial aid to pay for room and board and tuition.

How were you paying for school before? I can't imagine they'd want you to waste three years of an education so they can get free labor from you. That makes no sense. It also sounds illegal, what they're asking. It's definitely abusive and exploitative. As others have said, go to the school and see if they can help you. If you have friends at the school, maybe one of them has a place you can crash while you get yourself together.

If before, they were feeding you, put a roof over your head, and paying for your education and all you had to do was work for them a few hours a week, then I'd say you chose poorly.

Uh, that doesn't sound anything like what OP said.
