I know its stupid to ask for advice online, but Im afraid to ask anyone else. On here I can be anonymous and not bother the people that know me very well.

I'm 19 and still living with my parents, mostly because the college I go to is just down the street. It saved me money. I love my parents, but I dont know if they love me back. Every morning I wake up, go on the computer and do housework. I then start to work on personal projects like drawing, making cosplays, or writing stories. Then I eat dinner with them and I go to sleep. That has been my lifestyle for a very long time now, and I admit I'm very spoiled to have a good life like that. I want to get a job to start earning myself money, and I was planning on doing it this summer. My parents are taking very specific precautions to stop me from getting a job. I left my glasses at a friends house across town (I cant drive without them) and they wont let me go get them. I wake up in the mornings alone because they've left with my sister to go eat breakfast or to go to work. It's not like I can drive myself to go get them without my glasses, and me not being able to drive rules out the option of getting a job. So I walked over to my eye doctor and I'm going to get a new pair soon. I had to borrow money from my parents to buy these new glasses, so I owe them more money now. I owed them for paying for my car insurance ($160 per month) I now owe them $440. They tell me that they'll be here to listen to me, but they never do. Instead of listening to me they say that all my problems were caused by myself. At one point they even got me to get back together with an abusive boyfriend I had, saying that I was just overreacting and that couples need to talk things out. I'm asking for advice on this situation because today something really bad happened. I asked my mom when dinner was going to be made, "Well I guess I could make it now but dad isnt home." So I respond, "Okay nevermind, I can make some microwave meal for myself." Then I go and open the package and put it in the microwave. She suddenly yells, "Get that out of the microwave." it scared me, so I did and threw it away. She yells at me again about me wasting food, and forces me to take the meal out of the trash and cook it to eat. She watched me eat the dirty trash food, all the while calling me a "fucking baby." That's the recent situation that sparked this, and it scared me. I want some help.

just say to your parents, "I'm 19 now, your not in charge of my life anymore, I'm old enough to live my own life and make my own choices in life" also add some smartass comments like "i would pay you back but you don't let me get a job, soooo its either I don't owe you anything or let me get a job". and if it doesn't work you can always run away at your one of your friends or go some place else, and if they are still being bitches you can legally disown them as parents, then by law they are just a few adults to you. but first off talk to them about the things that trouble, if they don't listen then make then listen, like write it on a piece of paper and place it on their bed to find, or shout, shouting works most of the time, lets see, umm, I cant really think of anything else, but I might have more solutions for you.

and no its not stupid asking for help online, online is where you can get the best answers.

Hey, idk where you live and that but couldn't you just get a bus to your mate's house to get your glasses. Also i don't think your parents could really stop you from getting a job neither can they make you get back together with someone. Obviously i don't know the full situation but i'd just apply for a job and that without telling them about it. Like whether or not you have a job, doesn't really have anything to do with your parents. (Other than repaying the debts and maybe paying some dig money)

Look I really don't know where you live at but if I was in this situation I would try to get a job anywhere I could walk to (like mowing a neighbors grass, or working at a fast food place) then I would save enough money to buy the stuff I need , plus pay my parents back......but then again you got your glasses and can drive so a job is no problem for you....welp there is nothing you can do but apologize to them, even if it isn't your fault, be the bigger person
