so i come home from the library to find my dad with my tax return check for $250 (he opened my mail to get it) demanding that i give it him. i dont mind helping my parents out monetarily, but i do mind my mail being opened. i confronted him about it, and this kicked off a huge argument about me being a freeloader. now he is demanding that i pay him $200 a week, over 2/3 of my weekly paycheck. there goes my plan for saving up for going to university next year. he refuses to acknowledge that opening my mail was wrong, trying to justify it with how its not "personal mail" which he was so nice not to open. fuck that, all mail is personal.

so what are my options here? i can think of two: pay him 800 a month like a good little boy, or find an apartment somewhere for less than that and live on my own, find a better job, etc.

i like the second option more, but i have a feeling my parents are gonna be bitches about it because they are the overprotective type and are going to try to keep me living here until i find a much better paying job.

i took a quick glance at the local classifieds, and it seems that i can get a basement apartment for around 500 a month. i make about 300 a week. including food and other necessities its gonna be really tight.

what to do?
