Anyone suffered from this here?

Story in brief: I have to forced to live with my father, and he's very much a helicopter parent. As well as a manipulative bastard. Also I have to watch and listen his and my stepmother's "parenting" (actually it's child abuse). I tried to move to an another city but here's almost no jobs for me for kickstart myself. Other factors are politics/economics (I live in Hungary), school, and lack of social life (my friends now live in Budapest).

For some month I was unable to create anything. Now I got myself together at some point. So far it influenced me in making one of my character's father similar to mine but turned up to eleven, and adding the "helicopter parent" part to the thing. Also I'm a guitarist and songwriter, possibly it'll influenced by this.

If everything goes right, I even get a job at the summer's end and I can finally move to Budapest even if my father doesn't want it (ironically he always talks about how youngsters are parasites to dare to live with their parents).

So, is the point of this thread to ask if we have gone through a creator breakdown?

If so, then no, I haven't

I did once. It stemmed from an incident in high school, and it led to the dorky, light hearted old New Dawn-verse getting a really confusing, Darker and Edgier ending trilogy. Note, each "book" was only 30-60 pages.

I'd suggest just waiting until the move to keep writing. It's not that far away.

Project progress: The Adroan (102k words), The Pigeon Witch, (40k). Done but in need of reworking: Yume Hime, (50k)
