my dad and mom (divorced since i was two days old) both hate the idea of me being out of college for a semester. my mom says take one or two classes and work, my dad says stay in school full time or go home. i say that i am an adult and i can make decisions for myself, which i have been, and if i am not ready for another semester yet, then i am not ready. there is no discussing it. i understand that my dad will cut off all financial support to me. i know that i can't live in the dorms if i am not enrolled in school. i know that it is hard to go back to school once you've stopped, but i am already applying for full time jobs, i know where i can live, and i do want to go to school. i'm just not ready. my dad doesn't like the fact that my boyfriend (who i have been staying with since i hate my roommate) is not currently enrolled in school. what he refuses to understand is that william does not have any financial support from his parents, so he could not afford to live in his apartment and go to school. he chose the apartment and has a full time job to get him out of debt, then he will go back. he wants to go back. he knows what he wants to do with his life. he just doesn't have the money right now. we (my dad and i) were talking yesterday and he said that to me so i said i wasn't going to listen to that crap and hung up. he called me twice telling me i has 10 seconds to call him back, then that since i was being disrespectful, that he's turning off the credit card that i use for gas, i won't be allowed to drive my car, he's turning off my cell phone, and he's not paying for another semester at the dorms or for my credits. at this point i've stopped caring. he is just acting like a bully. he says "i have all the power so i'm taking everything away." that's not being a parent. that's being a bully. i won't stand for it, and i don't have to tolerate it. i've been independent since as long as i can remember, and i'm going to continue to be independent (completely) if that's what it takes to prove myself to everyone. i'm staying up here and i'm working. that's it.


happy two months william.
