My parents say things when ever I bring up the topic of moving out... I've heard that I cannot take my dog, and if I go ahead and leave he will be put to sleep. I've been told that I will not be allowed to take anything my parents bought me with me, and they will call the police and search everything I take out of the house to make sure I don't, then the stuff they bought me will be sold at a yardsale. My parents have told me point blank, "NO, you can't" My father and mother both make it out to be like it would be the end of the world if I did... my father says his only priority in life is to take care of me... but I'm 25 and I can take care of myself. I know how to do dishes and laundry and take care of myself, because tho my father says he 'takes care of' me I'm the one reminding him to take his meds, cooking for him, cleaning his bathroom. My father has point blank told me, "I don't think you could live on your own." when I have never even had a chance to TRY. Every time I talk about moving out, no matter how rational, they tell me I'm out of control like I'm a 10 year old. I've tried to get them to take me to pick up applications for income based housing - they won't. Point blank refuse. I don't drive because I have vision issues. I had a friend take me to look at mobile homes for sale in the area that might be in my price range.... parents won't do it. Won't give me messages if someone calls for me.
