So I’ve been in a depressed state for a little while. I tried to post it but my app glitches and wouldn’t let me post anything. I just now deleted and redone loaded it so I’m hoping for the best. First off.... I got my drivers license!! I mean kinda no point in it because I’m not really allowed to drive alone much still but hey I get to go alone sometimes. Second I kinda suck at the whole blog thing. Turns out I don’t really actually have very much to say and I don’t know anything about how to run a blog so that’s kinda not happening. Also we moved again!! Like two weeks ago. We live in South Dakota right now. And lastly my parents say we are gonna be staying in a hotel room for winter which honestly I can’t let happen because we already live in such a small space and I don’t need to constantly have to hear my moms heavy breathing. So I’ve come up with an idea and I honestly was hoping to get your opinions. I’m almost eighteen, only like five or six months to go. And my mom was emancipated when she was like fifteen and she did fine. I found an apartment that’s a decent price and is actually a really nice two bedroom apartment. So my idea is that they could emancipate me so I can get my name on the lease, we can live like roommates while I work paying half the rent and stuff and then when it’s time for them to go to the next job I find a new FEMALE roommate and stay in the apartment. I plan to pitch the idea to my parents tomorrow when they finish eating dinner. I gonna try to explain everything I’ve felt since we started living in the camper and tell them the talk is really important and I need them to not interrupt me and wait till I finish. I prepared a list of reasons why I should be emancipated and all that (and honestly some of the reasons are so phoned in) and ill be putting them on here too. I would love to hear your advice on this and if you were in my parents shoes what would you do?
1. Becoming an adult a few months early isn’t going to change how difficult it’ll be.
2. I can have a bit of time to learn how to cook the basics in a real kitchen
3. I need stability and that’s something they can’t give me
4. I’ll learn how to be responsible enough to adult alone
5. We can split the rent and find me a roommate (female) when they need to move
6. I can take control of my life and really grasp onto what I want in my future
7. I’m miserable in this camper and I’m very lonely and really sick of it.
8. I can get my ged when I turn eighteen if I stay here
9. Any necessary furniture or other stuff I need can be collected and kept with me while we live together.
10. Heat and electricity is paid
11. Rent is only 900 some dollars a month not including the dogs payment (which I’d be happy to cover)
12. Laundry facility is on site and mom won’t need tons of quarters because they accept cards in those machines
13. I can get a good stable job and save for my future as well as care for myself.
14. I really need this
15. Nobody wants to live in one hotel room with two beds, no privacy, and three people (two of which will be together a lot)
16. I may not be ready in your eyes but I know I am and I know I can do this, I just need you to believe in me.
17.I can also take self defense classes and get a taser to protect myself from sex trafficking
18. I’ll need to be emancipated before we move in because my name will have to be on the lease and I have to be legal to do that.
19. You can get that camper you want with the giant living room sooner because I won’t live with you and you won’t have to find a bunk house camper anymore.
20. It’s for the better for all of us. It was bound to happen eventually but I really need this now.
