Hmm, well, maybe this is a little extreme, especially in this economy, but one thing is to consider moving out…if not soon, then planning to make it soon.

Sometimes, parents do this just to get kids out of the house. Not because they don’t love you, but…well, I don’t know. I always thought the best way to go about it is just say “Hey, its time for you to get your own space now”.

Also, what kind of work does he do, and is that what he wants to do? I’ve recently gotten an apt after moving back to help my family after they lost their house. It was tough staying with them…but at least now I’ll have my privacy and sanity back. I guess my point is, with my mother, she has a terrible anger control problem…after pointing out to her, basically what a jerk she’s been…to her own family…the people that standby her through thick and thin…she woke up.

Hard to believe right? I mean, you shouldn’t have to explain to any family member why family should ALWAYS get respect, but apparently some people get so lost in their problems…they literally just can’t see straight.

My answer might not be the right one…its rough out there…you need to have backup and a fallback plan. Maybe, for now, you can start screening for roommates…probably best to have girls room with you for now…you can put an ad on craigslist or Angie’s list meet with them ask questions and choose from there.

Or, if you’re making good money(which even these days isn’t enough) you can live on your own. I think that’s where its going. If you haven’t done anything wrong and he’s snapping like that at ya…he’s either having a hard time, and can’t handle his emotions. He wants you to move out, or, its some other unforseen reason. If its unforseen, you can only control yourself…so, imho, I think your back to the moving out situation.

Thats my two cents…don’t spend it all in one place… :D
