But how can you afford to move out when they need between 6-10k from you, how can you afford to move out?

Can you explain how come you have reached 21 with your student loans intact and carefully put away in ISA's and up till now you haven't given them a penny piece?

Its not so long ago you whinged about how you could run this house if your parents died

They do not want me to spend my student loan as they say it is debt and I only have them to make a few quid a year off the loans.

Phil there is noting we can do, really. How about trying to figure this one out for yourself? You will find it a refreshing change. Just imagine: a bit of initiative!

No, well no one can help me with these things. I am on my own with all this always.

I am used to having almost the weight of the world on my shoulders and no one to turn to without causing upset, so don't worry.

I know I am lucky to have such loving and caring parents. I feel a bit selfish in a sense for wanting a break from them but after years of holding it all together, I must be due some restbite from it all.

How do you type with the back of your hand permanently pressed against your forehead???!!

Weight of the world?

Respite?? (although I quite like restbite, lol)

Indeed, you all need a break from me and I need a break from my family. I can tell you for over 10 years supporting a parent with serious long term depression does take it out of you. I could cope when I did not have my own problems, but now I do, it takes more of my reserves to deal with it all.

Seriously Phil.

Unless you're selling tickets to your stand up 'Woe Is Me' show, give it a rest.

Hmmm... yes it does. There comes a point where you have to strike out and live your own life.

And that's me leaving you to your own devices phil. Au revoir! :wave:
