You get on a lot better with your parents when you don't have to live with them. I live alone and I love having my own space; my kitchen cupboards are full of retro computer equipment and I have a collection of over a thousand DVDs and videos in my living room.
The downside to living alone is that you miss out on traditional family events like playing Monopoly or Christmas Dinner. I will most likely never experience another family Christmas.
You're still young. Enjoy family life while you can.
Thank you

I never thought of me missing out on family fun, but the thing was that I didn't really join in much games unless if it was the xbox with my brother and sister.
I do occassionally though. The Christmas dinner would of been my favourite part too.
I'm glad I'm young but I won't be young forever...

I also become very detached when I'm at home, which really upsets people (my mom). I don't want to hurt their feelings. Hopefully someone else can explain to her in the future why I am like that, but I just can't do it on my own.
That sounds exactly like me there, i tried explaining but it just doesn't work

and plus I don't know anyone that understands... Plus I had depression when I was 16. That's when I started becoming more detached...

but now I'm trying to rebuilt my life and start fresh but nobody would really know why unless I tell them who I think I trust...
