Thanks myself that would work if only I had a friend I could go stay with for starters then do it without it seeming completely strange to my parents.....they know all my friends all my friends have families at least the ones I live around that I would be able to stay with so that makes it impossible to stay with them.....besides even when I was in college I tried going into the hospital without telling my parents....but it didn't work b/c me and my mom talk everyday....when I didn't answer my phone all day or call her back she started calling around and finally found out.....she was furious.............so I don't think I'll do that to them again.....but thanks for the suggestion......I have thought about it as well
