Controlled

Written on February 7th, 2011
I am 23 years old. I have my own apartment, i have a job a car to drive and a good boyfriend. How ever im still controlled by my parents. they run the business i work at and the car i drive i drive is theres. I have never had a personal day since i started working and i work 12 shifts daily. IJUST WANT A BREAK! I just wana go so far away and just be gone for months with no cell phone, computers not even a walkie talkie. I  dont want to have to rely on anything but me. But I have too many obligations and im an enabler. I can't stand to watch people suffer when I can do something about it. I'm trapped. In my mind I'm so trapped I can't even see a way out.

    You know what I did when I was in that position, I tried to look calm and said I'm taking 4 days off. I picked the two usual days off like a weekend and added two days to it so I was really gone 2 days so it wasn't a big inconvenience. I told them I was going on a small trip to a historic town, but just stayed home and relaxed. When they asked how it was I said 'good, I needed it thanks'. I never took pictures because I wanted to relax.

    I tried to be firm and just sit quiet when they tried to tell me they needed me, I can't have time off. Then said I need this and kept repeating it. Try something like that. Your a grown woman, you need your space. Like your mother needs her space.
