<STRONG><U>to answer this properly</U></STRONG>. </DIV>

Ok. I have a question, and want people's opinions. The question is <BR>>
this: <BR>> what do you do when what your parents want and what you want are
<BR>> different.<BR>> <BR>> The context of the question is rather
complicated. For the Reader's <BR>> Digest <BR>> version, I have been
living on my own for a number of years now, and <BR>> my <BR>> parents
made me move back home. I was planning of moving out of my <BR>> appartment,
into another one with two friends. 1 week before I was <BR>> to move,
<BR>> my parents decided that it wasn't good for me. They didn't like one
<BR>> of these <BR>> two individuals, and simply said "No". I didn't want
to disappoint <BR>> my <BR>> friends, so I'm still paying rent there (both
these individuals have <BR>> severe <BR>> food intolerances, and trust the
others to NOT contaminate the <BR>> kitchen - <BR>> something they don't
feel everyone can. There's only a few people <BR>> they feel <BR>> they
can trust.).<BR>> <BR>> My mother loves to lecture, and will do so on any
opportunity <BR>> available. <BR>> Some examples are: "You didn't get that
job! ... you're too meek. <BR>> That's <BR>> what they didn't like about
you... you also waste your time .... you <BR>> <BR>> shouldn't have gone
to church during exams." ... [after calling me <BR>> on my <BR>>
cell]<BR>> "Where are you? ... you should have called" - I remind her that
she <BR>> was to <BR>> call me, and that I did, in fact call her anyway -
"... Well, when <BR>> you don't <BR>> get an answer, you call back every
two minutes until you get one." <BR>> This is <BR>> not practical for two
reasons: one, I use up cell phone minutes <BR>> needlessly, <BR>> and two,
my father works at home, and is on the phone for hours on <BR>> end with
<BR>> business associates.<BR>> <BR>> Anyway, that's just rambling.
Needless to say, I'm not happy at <BR>> home; I feel <BR>> trapped,
because I'm outside the city limits where there is no <BR>> public <BR>>
transportation and therefore cannot go anywhere or do anything <BR>> social.
I <BR>> want to be living in the city, but it would absolutely kill my
<BR>> parents - esp <BR>> my mom - to live with my friends, but I need to
live my life.<BR>> <BR>> I've tried talking to them, and tried just
following them, not <BR>> really caring <BR>> what it was that I wanted.
Neither works well, so I was just <BR>> wondering what <BR>> you are
thinking.<BR>> <BR>> ~Quama<BR>> <BR>> PS. Thanks.<BR>> <BR>>
