I love my family. Dearly. Too pieces. They are truly amazing. So how do I explain to my mom that for me, living at home feels like I am trapped? All I want to do is be on my own for awhile.  I made a comment that maybe for graduate school, one of my friends and I might go somewhere and move in together. She kind of freaked on me along the lines of, what's so bad with staying here? You're just like your aunt and now look at her. She only visits cause she has to.



My brother and I both still live at home. I'm 24 and he's 28. I honestly don't know how he can still live here at 28. Maybe I shouldn't say anything, maybe I'll still be here at 28. I just feel so trapped. I'm a very independent person and I feel like that is taken away when I'm here. I try to make my parents happy. I really do. But this. I don't know how to explain to my mom that I need to get away and be in the 'real world' without hurting her feelings. *sigh*



On a side note, I totally watched Grey's tonight. Meredith picked the wrong time to tell McDreamy about breaking up with Finn. And for the record, if McDreamy really does sleep with that woman I am going to be PISSED beyond belief. I'm already mad at him just for seeing the damn preview. If I was Mer and he slept with someone else like that, I would kick him in the damn balls and then smash his nose in. She deserves better than that. Way better.
