For the past year, I’ve been secretly planning on moving out and cutting out my parents especially my mother from my life.
At first i thought it was just me being a teen and all that. That somewhere in the future I’ll get over it. But things have gotten hectic… to say the least. I’m 17 and going to college in the 2018-2019 school year. My parents used to be okay with my existence as I’m not problematic and get good grades, no friends and no after school life. Just straight home and school. Now they refuse to give me personal info (or EVEN a copy) like my Social Security, birth certificate, monitor my bank account (to yell at me spending money on gas and school) and try to force their way into my phone. (I paid for this phone using my own money from a painting hobby.) I’m guessing it’s so i can’t move out or be on my own but i never had planned to until this happened. Recently they have been planning for me to get an arranged marriage… Which i don’t understand considering that’s not our type of culture and they were not arranged? No one is in our family or their home country is. Now I don’t want to do this. And I’m easily swayed back to them after they do something crazy (Leaving me outside at night if I forget to wash the dishes or something.) But i’m tired of this. I don’t want to be with someone i hardly knew and didn’t choose for the rest of my life. I don’t want to be here anymore. I’ve been saving up money and found a couple of places to move out. I even got a whole year’s of rent. I even planned on my birthday to relocate all my money into a new bank account. Planning on getting a job in a plaza that’s always hiring that’s walking distance from my college and school in case i can’t get a car. I also have emergency 1000 dollars and more for a phone. Got my certificates and Social (original copy) when my mom left them out after paperwork. Stuff will actually start in April.
