    I plan to finally move out tomorrow. My stuff isn't quite packed yet. My boyfriend and I have been on the phone for the past hour worrying our heads off about money, transportation ( my parents have announced that I will not be allowed to keep the car. I told them they can have it. I rather get my own.)

    My previous story is here about the parents and their determintation to have total control over my life: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/114839/1.ashx

    But tonight I had it. I came home from my boring, 7 hour shift job tired and dirty but happy because it was another day of my hard work. My first real stable job where I am actually able to have a budget and balance my own checkbook and wanna know the best my parents could come up with?

    "You come home too late and I we won't be woken up at 1 in the morning just cause you are coming from work. You either quit or leave the house but make sure you leave the car keys."

    I didn't even cringe this time.

    This time I am not even scared. At this point, I know there has to be more to life than this. I have to believe I am capable of Greatness without the control of my parents and the Watchtower. And if that means not having a car for the first time in my life since getting my drivers' license 5 years ago, if that means having days of eating Ramen noodels and not being able to get my hair done regularly like I used to then so be it.

    The cost of my independance is priceless!! AND I AM READY TO CONQUER THE WORLD!!

    Thanks for the thumbs up! This is all very surreal for me right now. A lot of emotions are running through me right now. Don't know if I am going up or down or more important left or right.

    Many of mankinds myths are about the 'hero' stepping out from the control of their parents and going on to achieve wonderful things. For as long as a person bases their life on the control of their family and their religion they will never know who they really are.

    I have to believe I am capable of Greatness

    You already are great, and all the best with this step to greater greatness.

    well at least you have a plan (& JWD )... I didn't have either...just don't let your emotions get in the way of your plan...

    I've been keeping up w/ your situation. I'm sorry that your parents are acting this way. I wish you all the best. No doubt you are going to have some hard times ahead of you but as the saying goes: "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger." That is so very true. Good Luck!

    StillA, I remember giving you quite a hard time a few months ago when you decided to pioneer for that car, seems you've become a whole new person since then. Good, I like the new StillA.

    Well done and may lots of happiness come your way.

    Nic'
