mom & dad
Mon, 03/07/2005 - 01:01Topic: Family & Friends
I am a 20 yr old college student who is in the process of getting her license. But that's not the problem here. I'm 20 and i need to move out of my house soon before me and my mom kill each other. We really don't get along. I'm going to be moving to the city in April but both my mom and dad are opposed to it. Do you know any ways that I can convince them that I will be ok? I will be living w/ 2 roommates and one is majoring in nursing so she knows her stuff but is that enough?

OK vent away, we all do.Sorry, us Mom's can be a pain. Mine sure is, but I don't know what I would do without her. I am sure if you talked to my daughter she would tell you that I am the biggest pain in the @#$ you could ever run into. LOL I am always into her business. Keeps her on her toes, and I also tell her the truth about what I did when I was young. All the uglyness and all the glory, But I also tell her not to repeat my mistakes, she has to make her own mistakes, and I will be there to pick her up when she needs me to.Well only you will know when it is the right time. I am glad you are able to talk to your Dad about it. When I moved out of my parents my Mom said I couldn't go, I was a minor, but I had already graduated from High School, which was the Time line for my Brother & sister so I was leaving too. She & I had it out even as I was taking my boxes out the Door. My Dad pulled up as I was loading up my car & trying to figure out how to move my Bed, he asked if I needed help, and loaded up his truck with half my stuff. You see that way he knew where I lived, and who with. Otherwise he would have had no Idea. Of course this was in the 70's...almost 30 years ago OMG do I feel OLD just thinking back to that day.Oh I need a nap. LOlDayna

So maybe if I introduced my parents to my new roomies, they would feel more comfortable? I hope that would work because nothing else has.

I talked with my dad and he said that moving out was the worst thing that he had ever done. I think that he is more concerned about me moneywise rather than me having seizures and not having anyone there to help me. It has happened before and I was tired (naturally) but I came out unharmed. I just want to leave. My sister is leaving for college and my parents are so excited for her that I want to start out on my own as well. My life at home is horrible. I do nothing but work and get yelled at. I lost my job because the pool where I worked at was shut down because it was so old. I can't drive, I probably won't be able to move out. Now I'm just venting but I needed someone to talk to. Thanks.
