I made my final decision now. I am going to move out come January and move in with a collegue at my workplace. She has the same age as me and she is only two days older than me. We both have similair family problems and similair goals.
Today, I went to eat with my dad, brother and sister to a restaurant. I figure it's a good time to tell him about me moving for real. As usual, he didn't take it easily and tell me that it doesn't make any sense and etc. I told him the reasons but less in details because you know... He wouldn't understand.
Since our point of view on this subject is different, I just leave it as simple as it is. He refused to help me in any ways except paying for my books for school. He tries to discourage me but I made it my final decision with my friend at work. I am simply not happy in my house and with everything going on so far. I think it's time for a new atmosphere... A new change and possibly, a way for me to grow up. I've been dying for something challenging.
The place that I am going to be living will be in the South Shore of Montreal. I prefer to stay in the Suburbs where it is less expensive and quieter. I hope to live near the bus station. That way, I will be close to my boyfriend's house, close to Montreal, close to take the buses to school and everything. The place near the bus station is unexpensive when I live with someone of course. I'm crossing my fingers that it will work out and I will find a nice place!
I am moving out

I know from past experiences that if you don't open the discussion about these "small" issues misunderstandings can and will occur. I lived in a 3 bedroom apt. while in my junior year of college with my sister and four other girls- I actually had to take the phone bill each month, figure out who made which long distance calls and write a "bill" for each roommate of their share and when it was due.
Congrats on moving out...

I've already said before - I moved out on my own at 18 and was probably the hardest part of my life. BUT for some people sanity is more important than the frugalness living at home. & if it helps at all, I could not stand to live with my parents but we get along pretty darn well now that I am an adult. I hope you can say the same for your relationship in the future.
