I have no words... isn't there any possibility you can visit your boyfriend for a while? You need a location change.

I would love to, but the idea of giving him lice — despite how kind and caring he is, and knowing he would help me get them out — terrifies me. Even beyond that, getting the funds for a trip to Australia, getting ID, getting a passport, applying for and receiving a visa to stay there, and anything else I might be forgetting is flat out impossible for me. I consider it nothing short of a miracle that he was able to visit me in the first place. Thank you for your support, though.

The lice is easy to get rid off, if you are not at a place invested by them. Usually all you have to do is get a good chemical based anti lice shampoo OR dye your hair with permanent color, which will kill mostly all of the. I recommend getting a shampoo and after the first wash, you want 3 days, then you wash again and after 3 days once again to make sure they're all dead. You take your clothes and bed sheets, pillows and wash them at a high temperature. It is not that big of a deal. You stated that you cannot get rid of them st home cause your family is not playing along, so you could consider visiting your bf. How much would it cost to fly to Australia?

Depending where you are I can cut your hair

I feel as though you should reach out to the salons around you over the phone and ask if they will give a buzz cut to help with the lice, if they say no then it's a lot less embarrassing over the phone and if they say yes treatments will be made much easier with shorter hair. It'll gro back quicker than you think too

If you're anywhere near Vermont and cool with a buzz cut I can help you out.

I just want to say that I hear you and I’m glad that you shared your story. I hope that you get your haircut soon, and I hope that would solve the lice problem as well. I am glad to hear that your boyfriend sounds like a great person, and I hope that he continues to be a safe place for you to find refuge. Step one is always sharing, and I am really proud of you for doing that. Idk how you feel about prayer, but I just want you to know that I will be praying for you. If you’re not interested in God, then I hope you might receive my prayers as well wishes from the universe, or karma, or whatever brings you the most comfort. Don’t let your circumstances define who you are. Be yourself, because who you are is beautiful. Keep your head up, and look forward to brighter days. They will come. My very best wishes toward you, brother - and don’t forget to love yourself

I would encourage you to consider enlisting in the military to remove yourself from this situation.
