Boyfriend or "grandma"???

[drewcaine]

:love:Ok, if you planned a trip to go see your BF and actually scrounged together $15 in change to go an hour away from home, would you let someone scrap your plans?
Well, that's why I'm here. I have actually met him too, at the mall...boy you should've been there with me ;) Spark, anyone?
So, I definately know that he means no harm to me...hell, I'm older than he is! His friend, Ashley, is awesome (she is supposed to be picking me up); Meg is sweet, too. Hunter himself is kind, although he could use a li'l more self-esteem, lol.
Well, I haven't seen him since...I cant remember, seems like a week...so imagine how that would feel. I have a chance to spend 2 days with him [and get away from family idiocy]!!!
I already know that I will prob'ly be evicted--on false grounds--soon, but now I am threatened with having all of my possessions removed while I am gone...what B.S. Well, Jesus was crucified, so this can't be that bad...or can it? It is hard just to not get violent @ times. Seriously.
Well, I know that I am the righteous man here. I cant back down now. Well, I might also be arrested if they attempt to send me ro Alaska; I am NOT going.
Halfway through 17th year, dont need you to remind me of that.
I dont want to commit suicide.

One thing to keep in mind: you are underage, correct? So the person (your grandmother) who is looking after you may have- legally speaking- more power in this situation than you. That said- you are a free agent- so to speak- when you reach 18 (I am assuming that the laws in the your state have your reaching- again- legally speaking- adulthood- at 18.)

Sounds like you are in a real struggle for self-determination. Me? I would not want to be thrown out on the street. But that's me. A good many of those who do wind up in bad places doing stuff that is harmful like selling theiur bodies to get by. Unless you have recources and friends or relatives to stay with, I would seriously think twice before you risk not having a roof under your head.

Yeah. I know this is not going to go down well with you, you want to see your guy. I get that. Really I do. Makes the heart ache to have that feeling of wanting to be with someone and experience love.

I know it's hard, but I encourage you to be patient with yourself and your grandmother. Learning about and practicing nonviolence may be what you don't want to be doing and aren't interesting in right now- seeing that your mind seems to be centered on getting away right now- but I also encourage you to bone up on ways to interact with you grandmother in a way that doesn't make you want to do something violent. That doesn't help anyone, least of all you.

I wish you much peace.

I would worry about one thing at a time. You say you're likely to be evicted: do you have a plan for when that happens? A friend's house to crash at?

If you explain to the boy how much family stuff is going down, I'm pretty sure he'd be ok with waiting a week or two, right?

Please, keep yourself safe... as Daniel said, you really don't want to risk ending up without a place to live. If this guy is as great as you say, then he'll understand the situation! :love:
