For over a year now, the house that I've been living in has practically been a battle ground.

 

My parents are constantly fighting, but neither will actually go and get a divorce, which I've often hoped and prayed for, because then it would mean peace and quiet. Which would be nice for a change.

 

And when my parents aren't going at each others throats, I feel like their wrath is always aimed directly at me. Whether it's that I don't do something right, or if I just make the wrong movement at the wrong time.

 

But a great and wonderful opportunity has been offered to me. The chance to move to where my boyfriend and his family live and for me to stay with them. And I want to do this so much! I would give anything to be able to just pack my bags right now and hop on a plane.

 

But there's a threat that my mom made that is holding me back. She told me "Fine, you can move to FL, but because of where you're going to no longer be attending college, YOU have to pay the $10,000 that we owe in student loans immediately, and by yourself. So don't be coming to me or your dad asking for money, because you wanna know something? Tough luck!"

 

I'm only 19 years old! Where am I supposed to get $10,000?! But also if I stay in this house much longer I'm going to go crazy!

 

What should I do? Stay where I'm living now, and risk possibly going insane? Or do I seize the opportunity that's been handed to me, and go and live with my boyfriend and his family, and just hope and pray some more that I'm able to pay the $10,000 immediately?

 

I thank those who respond to this in advanced.

I don't understand. If you move in with your bf you wont' be attending the same college?

Far from it. See I live in KY and my boyfriend lives in FL. I'd be moving several states away from where I am now.

How many semesters are paid for by the 10000?

2 full years = 4 semesters.

 

And things just keep getting worse. My mom kicked my dad out last night, but he came back this morning to get a few things. He then left, and my mom came home for a bit and told me that my dad was coming back. And this is just a repeating cycle! I mean, in 2 weeks, my dad will leave and then he'll come back.

 

Plus I swear that my mom is bipolar! 1 minute she'll be screaming and swearing at my dad telling him to pack his things and leave, and when he goes to do so, she's crying and saying "Please don't leave! I need you!"

 

It's just insane!

It doesn't make sense that they've paid for all four semesters already. Have they spent all the money already? If not tell her to give it back. If the semester hasn't started yet you might be able to get a refund.

 

Unless you've already done a semester or two.

The $10,000 is actually a student loan. If I fail school, or get a GPA below a 2.5 then the money has to be paid back immediately. But if I pass and stick out the remaining year, then we have probably 3 or so years left to pay the loan back gradually.

 

But I don't know if I can stick out the extra year.

 

But also a few months back, my mom and dad were fighting, as usual, and my mom came into my room and began yelling at me for no reason, I stood up and she got all peeved off and asked if I wanted some too? As in if I wanted to fight her. Well she came charging at me like she was going to attack me, and all I did was I grabbed her wrists to stop her from being able to use her hands. After it was all said and done she then said that she was going to call the cops on me and have me taken to jail.

 

I've often been afraid for my well being when it comes to living in this house. I never know if one of my parents is finally going to go crazy and kill the other, or if one is going to kill themselves.

I'd suggest getting a friend and getting a small cheap apartment.

 

If they start to yell at you for moving out then tell them that their constant bickering is unhealthy for you and will affect your grades. Make them know that all this crap is going to hurt your education and it will waste their money, if that makes sense.

It does make sense. And I've been thinking about doing that, but all of my friends who live here are younger than me, except for one, but I'd rather not go there.
