Mother is disapproving of me being poly.

Yes, as I do have some money, not enough right now for it. Although I have one trip left on a used 5 trip pass, that wouldn't get me back.

[Sam W]

Do you have a way to add to that money at all? Or, alternatively, are you comfortable asking a supportive friend for help?

[KittyPink]

I get money on holidays and stuff, or a friend might even drive me there.

[Sam W]

Then it sounds like a next step would be to reach out to a few of your friends and see if anyone is able to do that

[KittyPink]

Planning on it, although my grandmother might not come with me. (Because it's one of my friends, and apparently that is for some reason bad to her.)

[Sam W]

Do you sense she'd go with you in the first place, given how she's not supportive of you?

[KittyPink]

Maybe, although it was highly unlikely to begin with in the first place.

[Sam W]

Okay, so maybe the plan to start making if you can get a friend to drive is to assume none of your family will be coming?

[KittyPink]

Yes, probably would be my best bet to presume no family is coming.

You know, what I would suggest is calling this center and talking to them about this. They no doubt have had youth before who aren't in the city but want to get there to use their services or at least get some initial help. They may even have ways of providing transport or vouchers for it: both of those things aren't uncommon with nonprofits that serve marginalized people.

[KittyPink]

I'll try calling when I'm home alone.
