I need out. Be prepared for lots of text.

So I just learned that my mother plans on cramming all three of us “kids” into one room because she feels like she can’t work in her room (which will be the same problem I will have when this occurs). She is being really selfish, at least that is my opinion. We live in a tiny two bedroom house and she feels it is “only fair” that she gets her own room. Yes, I know I am 18, but I was not prepared to move out and I am still a little apprehensive about it. She made me sign a “chore contract” in which she will shut off my connection to the internet if i do not finish my chores between 6am and 8pm. I was okay with this, I was able to handle this. I coped with this. She was being a jerk, but she was partially in the right. Currently at my house my only means of contact is through the internet. My cell phone does not work at this house, and so I use my iPod to text. If I lose the internet, I lose all connection outside of my house. I was okay with this because I will do my chores and everything will be fine. I get through all of this thanks to my loving boyfriend and all of my friends. 

When, as I was asking to spend the weekend at a friend’s house, my mom mentioned the room moving situation, I just was dumbstruck. My mom plans on cramming all three of us into one room, a 9 year old boy, a 13 year old girl, and me, a 18 year old boy into one room so she can have the other room, what was my brother and I’s. When we all moved into this new place at the beginning of the last fall semester, we agreed to make the living arrangements fair. Clearly she has changed or forgotten this. I have decided that the only means of solving this is to move out. I don’t know how or when, but I do know it needs to be soon. I have a friend or two I can ask. I hope that they will be okay with this. I really feel the need to get out. I hope that one of my friend’s families can accommodate me. I would be willing to pay a small fee if it was really necessary, but I am currently unable to afford true rent and I just don’t know how else to leave. If anyone actually read all of this personal crap, I love you. I try not to complain and I try to cope as best I can, but I need out. Thank you for listening if you are.
