My parents wanted me out before I even hit 18. I left.
During my stay at ASU, the whole roommates and stolen goods thing happened. I think some of you know the story.
I moved back to Benton, my parents had already moved off to Dallas, and attempted to get a job that payed over $10/hr. My attempts failed to find anything that was decent pay and not paving roads or digging ditches. After being very depressed and living on someones couch for a month I maned up and made the call.
They offered for me to move there and get my feet planted. Im sure they are ready for me to move on or move out, but at the same time they ask me not to. They say they like having the large house and the money I pay.
Now that my grandparents are going to a retirement community in Tulsa and my parents themselves are ready to retire, they are hinting for me to move on. I will as soon as possible, but with the fines and such I have coming with this court case I have drained about 25% of my investments that were to be used to buy a house.
It seems that I get to take a step forward in life and there is something that knocks me 5 steps back.
Chris, I know exactly what you are going through...after 6 years my father and I have just now patched up a relationship based on silence.
