Are you satisfied with your home life? Do you feel controlled or dominated by your parents even after turning 18 or even 20? Do you hate your parents sometimes? I’m 19 almost 20, and I just finished my first semester at georgia perimeter college and unfortunately I can’t live on campus cause they don’t have dorms. Bottom line, I’ve been feeling like this for a long time. I’m just wandering if anyone else is feeling this way.
yes always and i am almost 18 a month away and she said even if i came back it would be strict rules wow thats why i am moving out
im 15 ive ran away from home plenty of times dont try it
Hell yes. I’m 22 and my mother hasnt changed ever, always controlling and thinking that she’s right about everything. Although it wouldnt technically be running away since im past 18, I know as soon as im done paying off my car, im gonna save up every penny i can to get me an apartment of my own and get the hell away from her. So yes, I feel your pain and anger
no, but that’s because I’m not ready financially or mentally.
I don’t feel dominated, most of the time. lol. I’m still naive in some areas of life, so I depend on them to help me out.
Yes, sometims.
I’ve thought about running away a lot of times. I feel like I don’t get any respect from my parents or my sister. I “ran away” once and I went over to my friends house and hung out with them for the day. I am only 16 so I have to wait two more years before I can move out and I wanna finish high school first. As soon as I finish though, I’m going to live with my bf. He’s 18 now and he’s going to try to get an apartment over the summer so we can live together when I get out. He keeps telling me only two more years, but it seems like forever…
You are experiencing normal feelings. You long to be out on your own now. How
about sharing living expenses with some friends. Help pay the rent and the
utilities plus the food costs. That way you can have your freedom that you long for
and can still afford to live on your own. Welcome to being an adult.
well im 16 and i have left my home twice…and im much younger than you are so i don’t know in wat situation you are in….although i don’t have a job and yeah…well i ur tired and you have a job then go ahead and get your own apartment wouldn’t recommend getting an apartment with a friend because things can go wrong…but good luck just remember that before you leave your house lt your parents know because after you leave without telling them it hurts hem to the Maximum even if you think they don’t care…!But they love you a lot!
growing up in an abusive home yes i wanted to leave everyday of my life and my teacher adopted me and now im happy and i appreciate everything they do for me and i never wanna lose this family….i got a second chance and im happy here now…so no at 15yrs old i dont want to leave but in my old home i dreamed of leaving
NO
my daddy spoils me and i love it
yes im a young adult in college, dorms were too expensive so i have no choice but to live at home. Its not so bad for me. I enjoy living at home. I have a lot of friends who cannot live at home and have to pay expensive rents. its pretty tough. I try to be thankful for my parents and respect them in thier home. Of course there are days I wish I could move out, but i just dont have the money or resources for that right now. im sure your parents want the best for you. things could be a lot worse. if something about this is bothering you, let them know how you feel…
I am the dad of a 21 year old that just moved out. Whether you get along with your parents or you don’t it is natural to start feeling like you need your own space. Sometimes you have to live at home because of financial reasons or lack of housing. Regardless of the reason, if you are “stuck” at home then you have to make the best of it. If your parents are abusive then you should get out. Go live with another relative if you have to, even if it means switching schools. However, if the problem is that you are still having to live with the house rules, that’s just the way it is. You need to respect your parents wishes while you are in their house. It isn’t easy but you are also not paying what you would if you had to have your own place.
There is a closeness with family that you will not feel anywhere else. These are the people that birthed you, took care of you, watched you make a ton of mistakes and helped to pick up the pieces and have the highest expectations for you. They are also imperfect and probably have a slug of problems of their own. All of those things put you under a microscope that you wouldn’t otherwise have. That makes it tough. However, these are also the same people (if they are mentally and physically healthy) that will love you deeper and more unconditionally that anyone else does.
Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. Remember that you are in control of your life. You are the one that makes the final decisions about where you live and what you do, so don’t get mad at your parents if your living conditions are not ideal. You can always choose to move on.
