no trust

[citrus_fuzzles]

It seems that the more I work toward getting an apartment/job in Wilsonville the more difficult the adults around me have become. Not only do they not trust me at all they criticize my efforts. It hardly seems justified that they should have such little faith in me. Even if I don't want someones "advise" they see no problem with dishing it out. Is

Hey muffin,

I can definitely relate to the wanting to get away from home part. And my parents really did everything possible to keep me at home. Independence is a lot of work, but man is it worth it.

You know, I'll counter and add to that. Hell, I've bounced around so much. But, after a lot of whatnot, I've decided that my best course of action is to stick around my parents for school, get financial help (for school) from my dad, and work to afford luxuries like a car and going out. As awesome as it is to have it all, sometimes you really have to gage everything and decide what's the most importand thing to you. Creating these optimistic ideals that it's all so much better out on your own doesn't always work. Just want to add that in, because I've finally figured out that I've been super optimistic about "life on my own" until I finally realized that if I moved out I'd be in so much debt and I'd be broke and miserable, and not in school most likely. It all has to work together. Take your time and make it happen the right way.

In part I completely agree. I'm at a huge financial deficit. I've never been in debt a day in my life and now I owe so much money it makes me want to cry. The only way I could continue my schooling is to go to community college. If I were to live at home no one would help me- in fact I'm guessing I would have to pay my mother to live in her unsanitary home (the one she blames me for being so dirty, in spite of the fact it's all of her animals that cause the dust, dirt, hair, and stink in the house).

On the other hand you are in a different situation than I am- your parents have money they can spend to help you out, they have a clean home to live in and they will allow you to live there without cost until you've completed college. I really don't have quite the same option... but I suppose it doesn't take a buss to run me over to make it obvious I should take more time to make my decisions. *hugs* Anyway, you're a darling, Corinne.

True enough. We have very different situations. I just wanted to share my insight that sometimes it's good to just take your time, you know? I owe 5 grand to SOU for ONE TERM! It's ridiculous. Being in debt is terrible. I guess I am taking advantage of the options I have. I wish I could just steal you away *hugs*. And I wish your mom would let you stay at home for a while and not charge you while you figure things out. I found the fool hardy ideals in myself that I don't want to see become the demise of the people I love. I want all the best for you, love. <3
