How to get away from controlling parents?

Question

I need help leaving my house. I really can't stay here anymore. I posted earlier this month that my father chocked me for standing up to him (which was the first time). I thought my mom was on my side until she yelled at me today saying I shouldn't get mad over a petty mistake and I better be glad I even have a father who wants to be in my life. I even made it clear to her I wanted nothing to do with him. She attempted to force me into spending time with him today after the argument. When I went on http://www.controllingparents.com/stylesof.htm I realized BOTH of my parent are controlling. My mom is the Smothering/Perfectionistic type. My dad is the Perfectionistic/ Chaotic/Using/Abusing type. I am thinking of joining the air force to get away from home. Is their anymore options avaliable?

Answer 1

stop using excuses. if you really want a job and if you really want to move out you will.

go ahead and join the army or you can always go to a homeless shelter until you get your first pay check.  but either way you do it... stop using all these excuses. you are grown start acting like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I actually think joining the Air Force would be a great idea.

You would get away from them and be on your own.

They pay for all your food, housing and medical, so your entire check is yours.

Plus, you would be serving your country, which is something that many young people don't find important any more.

If you ask me, it's the best way to get away from them and make sure they keep their hands off you and out of your pockets.

You will be able to learn hands on many skills in the air force that you can use to get jobs when you get out.

If you just try and move out and get a job you will still be in the same town and in their reach of control.

Find a Air Force recruiter and sit down with them. Get the information you need to make an educated decision.

It has to be better than what you have now.

Good luck.

Answer 3

You ARE old enough to move out, into your own apartment.

you need to begin making plans to do so.

But first, stop blaming you parents for "making it impossible" for you to do things.  It is YOUR money, and you can save it any way you like.  So tell you Mom that you will no logner be helping with the bills, and prepare to be tossed out.

Find a roommate, get your own apartment, and start your own life.

Answer 4

if you really want join the air force go ahead but don't just do it because of your parents try getting a condo or moving in with a friend or even going to college and get a dorm room  

Answer 5

first of all, the others that answered this question are being pretty inconciderate to you andyour feelings.

you can go to the police and tell them your dad tried to choke you because he can really get into trouble for that.

try to get a job and not tell your parents, tell them you are going to hang out with friends when you go to work so she doesnt know you have a job. then you can save up your paychecks so that you make a lot of money and you can get your own place.

if you want anymore help, you can email me.
