Hello everyone, thank you all for the suggestions and support. A lot of the fallout has finished, and I am currently starting to get certain "privileges" back. They gave me my phone back yesterday, and I have been allowed to use the car to drive my sister to softball games. I talked to my mom about prom, and she has been trying to make an effort to allow me to go. For obvious reasons, I went against their punishment of not contacting M and filling in things that have happened at home while not at school. Every time my mom tries to go through my phone, I delete the calls with M and log out of Snapchat.
Yesterday, my dad talked with me. He told me I'm just like him and that building an emotional connection with someone on that level would also lead to not being focused on my schooling, which costs roughly $25K/ year. He also said that I am not mature enough to do these things if I'm focused on my future and not ready to choose between a baby and my degree. When I told him everything was safe and careful, he said that mess-ups still happen, and that's why people end up with children at 50. This comment was a direct stab at M's dad since he had a little girl 2 years ago, unexpectedly. M was ready to come over and scream at my dad for that comment, but I had to talk him down since it wouldn't be the right move for now.
I also had an honor cord ceremony for how many college classes I took with a B or higher, which both parents had forgotten about. My mom had work, and my dad never goes to these things and told me just be glad that she got my graduation off. When he called me about this he said that as part of our family business, different members need to step up, and because of that, my grandparents needed to be the ones to go since they will be paying for my college, and he will probably need to go to these events for his grandchildren. When my grandfather asked why he couldn't come, I said exactly that. When i told my dad about this he lost his shit and said that he did not say that and was framiong me saying he is shitty person.
My parents are still under the impression that M and I broke up, but we never did and are going as strong as ever. We talked about possibly getting a joint account within the next year so we can rent a storage unit to store our things and begin moving my stuff during my winter break. This way, I can break free, and they cannot hold my possessions over my head. These are only if things continue on the path they currently are, and M and I are still together. For now, we've decided to keep things on the downlow, play nice til I leave, and flip the bird at move-in day for college. I plan to apply for a credit card ASAP so I can begin to build credit. I'm cautious with money and only plan to use my card when I
A. have enough money that I know I can pay it
B. Use at the end of the month before the next billing period
C. No more than $10/ billing period
With these conditions, I can hopefully build good credit. I feel i have done all I can for now. I could try to call CPS as many of you suggested, but I feel that will make things worse. Even though this could open an investigation because the house is extremely messy, and there are still 3 minors in the house after I turn 18. I will keep posting updates so y'all know I'm alive.
Please wait...
