I had the same problems when I wanted to go to Holland when I was with Sybren. I understand completely. It was like sure... whatever. In the long scheme of things maybe me going to Holland wouldn't have done a world of good. BUT. I needed to. I'd chosen who I wanted to be with and them not letting me go was going to do so much more damage than me going would ever have done. I'd never even *met* Sybren. I needed to see him and even make sure that this relationship I was investing my time and emotions in would work out. And, if they liked it or not, I was an adult and I had the right to make my own decisions, "childish" or not. They ended up letting me go, but in the end it didn't matter cause we broke up and I never got to meet him anyway

Yea. I mean, not saying anything bad about art stores-- I'm rather fond of them, except that they steal all my moneys -- but. just. stupid!
I actually tried talking about it more with my dad last night. It wasn't really planned, more spontaneous. Dad: "Hey, how're you feeling? *asks, watching me frown at the computer, which is covered with rising air fare ticket costs*" Edh: "Not.. so great..." Dad: "Hmmmm?" Edh: "I still want to go. I want your permission, but that's all." .... < talk talk talk, dad 'wavers' a bit (one thing you should know is that my dad has no spine when it comes to my little sister and me
( ... )
And-- I fought with them again the evening after I posted this. And the thing that's really bugging me is, I'm trying to do as they ask and be mature-- hell, I even bought flowers and wrote a note with a semi-cartoony drawing of myself looking sorry. I made dinner -- a beef and veggie soup and sweet potato biscuits, and it was really damn good. And then we fought again, and they called me "immature" and a "bully" again. I mean, wtf? I'm doing my best. and they won't even compromise. I'd be willing to go for, say, 2 months instead of the whole summer (3 mo). They might even be able to bargain me down from that. But they say "No" and I say "Screw you guys I'm gonna buy that ticket anyway." just. gah.
Goodness... :/ Edh-ness. *hugs* I'm really sorry your mum is being a mole. Well... you might just have to do that. Buy a ticket and just go, I mean. You are 19. If they're not even willing to compromise... it's obviously something you really want... then they're not being the mature ones. I dunno though, would hate to see you kicked out of school and home :S I know you think it's worth it though. How difficult! Agggh. Your mum doesn't sound supportive at all, nor does it sound like she's listening to you either - more like she's imposing her views of life on you. But well - I think you already know this anyway - your parents are never going to take your relationship with Joe seriously. Never. Not unless he moves to Boulder and starts going out with you in places where your parents can see. My parents didn't really take my relationship with Sybren seriously (even though it was quite serious and we were together for a long time) and Sybren's parents didn't either. It's not ideal, of course, having a long-distance relationship and most
