So my dad hasn't talked to me for a week. All he does is make mean faces and grunt. All because I asked to saty longer at my boyfrineds down state. I don't think that deserves a week. I hate them. i wish I could move out. I know I should but I honsetly don't have the money. I don't know what to do. It is not safe for me to stay there though.

how old are you? perhaps that has something to do with your parents not wanting you to stay with your boyfriend........xoxoxo pat

Rainstorm,

Why isn't is safe for you to stay at your parents?

My husband lacks good communication skills. It makes living together so much more difficult. Sounds like you have a similar situation with your father. I'm sorry he is unable to express himself better. It sounds like he really loves you, and is trying to protect you, but is unable to say that in so many words.

Have you finished high school?

Feel free to PM me anytime.

Hugs,

EJ

Why isn't it safe?

Obeying parental rules can be tough at times, but often are for your good... learning self discipline is paramount.

Do you have reasons to hate, or is it just a teen thing?

[xrainstormx]

No, it is not because of that. I went there before and they were fine. They are just crazy.

[xrainstormx]

Yes, I finished high school. I am 18. No, my parents don't suppory me. I just got told today that for the last five years I have been driving them crazy. My mom told me that today. If I stay in my house I will be down on myslef all the time. I have sevre depression. It is not safe.

[xrainstormx]

I have tons of reasons to hate. They yell if I close a cabinet wrong. I can't walk to hard. They yell at me for no reason. They have called me stupid. They won't help me out for school. I am 18 years old and I have to be home at 10:30. I try to talk to them and they ignore me or change the sunject. They drive me crazy. I don't want to go up againist my dad. I don't want him to hurt. My brother said I might not even make it though college. Some support.

Rain,

Have you looked into financial aid at say a local community college?

It sounds like there is no emotional support among family members in your house. Are you saying it's not safe to stay there, b/c the atmosphere is getting you depressed?

Please keep in touch. From 18 - 21 were hard transitioning years for me. I will be remembering you in prayer. Please PM me if you want.

Hugs,

EJ

Hi Rainstorm,
I can see where ur coming from here...i am 21 and moved out recently b/c i was afraid of what i would do to myself if i stayed...i have had depression (am currently recovering) and i could just see myself going further and frther downhill if i stayed. my parents were very strict and controlling and had a lot of personal problems of their own which they made me the scapegoat for. sounds like u are going thru a similiar situation. have u looked into financial aid for college, maybe working part time,etc. if u want to go to college and put your mind to it, i'm sure u'll succeed! just try to ignore your brother when he says stuff like that, it's not worth listening to. good luck and i hope u can find a way to move out!

[xrainstormx]

Yes, they get me down everyday. Like really bad. I am just worried that.........I don't know. I can't keep doing this.

[xrainstormx]

I am glad you are getting better. It gives me hope. I am going to a community college and there is not much aid I can get. I am worrking but I don't make enough to pay for school and an apartment.

[zombiette]

There is always hope is there someone u can can talk to at the community college about ur situation...either financial or with your parents, they may know about options u don't yet...
