I've spoken about this a few times in my threads. I'm 25 and still live at home with my folks. Sometimes I get so angry about this that I feel like I'm in despair.

Is anyone else going through this? I am an adult, I feel like an adult, I know that I should be on my own now. All of my friends seem to be in a similar situation too. I've spoken to some people about it; my former therapist said I have an assertiveness-issue and I let my folks push me around. I guess it's true sometimes, but that's only because you can never win with my folks and sometimes I am sick of fighting for my rights and fighting over every single thing. I let them win battles but I am trying to win the war, so to speak.

Sometimes I experience this almost wild despair because I feel like I'm not in control of my own life, like I can't live my life the way I want to. *rebel yell*

It's unusual to me too how some people are like "so move out! just do it already! do it tomorrow!" as if money is not an issue at all. I can't move out without money. I'm in grad school right now...Probably won't have a legit job for another couple of years at least.

If anyone has any thoughts or words of encouragement...I am all ears.
