[GCFL-discuss] Opinions and Advice

[gcfl-discuss at gcfl.net]

Ah, good point, Nancy. Yes, I have been paying my own tuition and living 
expenses when I was away. I am of legal age. I know that they don't have the 
right to force me to do anything I don't want to, but they feel so strongly 
about me not moving into this place. I'm trapped, because I can't afford 
another place, but don't want to live with my parents.
