For the past 5 years or so all of my decisions have been based around how my parents feel. When I graduated HS my plans were to join the military and move on with my life.Why’ Because I absolutely HATE school and wanted a break from it. Once HS was over my dad pressured me into going to school first, so I did to make him happy. My 1st 2 years of college I did horribly. I regret it, but at the same time I was 18, I had no interest in being there, I had no study skills, and resented my parents for forcing me to go. Fast forward 2 years later I’m now engaged with a 2 year old, however I still live under my parents rules. My dad still makes payments on my car and car insurance, so financially they still have control over me. My parents are stationed in Germany at the moment and I live here stateside with my brother. They practically forced me to get an apt with him and will not let my fiancee live with us( they’re old school). I HATE feeling as though I’m babysitting my 18 year old brother. I have a child of my own and don’t want to take care of another one right now. I’m tired of my family here in town keeping tabs on me and watching my every move. What I do with life is no ones business. I plan to move out of the apt with my brother as soon as I land a job (no i’m not on welfare, I use the GI BILL). My fiancee works full-time and will be leaving for basic sometime in November I believe. I also need a break from school. It’s draining and depressing. I came home nearly everyday on edge during this past semester. Everyday I freaking regret not joining the Army after HS. I’d have a career, my own life and money. My parents come home to visit in two months and I plan to move the begging of July and I don’t plan on returning to school this August. I’m contemplating on how I should break the news to them. I want to write them a letter because I know by doing so I’ll be able to say what I need to without them interrupting me out of anger, and it’ll give them time to calm down before calling me…but then again I feel like that would be an immature thing to do. I don’t want to tell them when they come home because I know for sure it will ruin their vacation. Would writing be an immature thing to do’
