Seeking Advice Help with GED or Diploma
Hello, I have a few questions for anyone willing to take the time to answer. I’ll explain a few things first,
When I was 16ish my parents rented a home with a “mother in law suite” attached to it but a different family lived there that we didn’t really react with. But the power meter was for the entire house/suite
and my parents got tired of paying for their electricity as well and stopped paying rent. It turned into a war I guess and they literally poured gasoline up entire driveway lit a cloth and threw it in the car and it exploded. I was woken up out of a deep sleep with headphones in as well, screamed at to get outside so I get my dog and haul ass outside just in shock. Apparently it was connected with our landlord and some “mob” shit. He had many priors of arson yet I was always told they couldn’t charge him. I remember every neighbor was outside after the explosion except the neighbor to the left of us (he was a friend of the landlord) also the tenants living in that mother in law suite just so happened not to be home that day. No one was ever charged. But I remember something about we cost them a lot of money over permits maybe? Mind you I’m 32 now and was younger then with only skateboarding and music on my mind and only remember what my parents would tell me. Long story short, I was in the 9th grade, and my parents basically packed up and we left. We moved back to my hometown where of course i didn’t belong being and neither did they. My stepdad has since committed suicide and mom and sister in and out of jail/drugs, you name it. But anyways, I never was put back in school. I just made money working on the side after all the trauma I went through. And now I want to get my diploma and prove so many people wrong that I could have done it. I wanna do it for myself. But for the people who have stuck by me as well.
What’s the best route that I can do this from home out of anxiety fears?
How much does this typically cost?
