Long story short....
Im 23 now and have lived in an apartment with other roommates, friends, etc since I was 19.
Well I landed a steady fulltime job about 2 years ago and moved downtown, basically living the life, gambling, partying, being irresponsible, etc.
Ended up losing that job 2 months ago and my lease ended downtown last month so was forced to move back into my parents house while im in this transition and looking for jobs.
Anyway....wanted to get your guys perspective and insight on how to cope with this. Ive been here a month now and am on a completely different schedule then my parents and younger siblings (who still havee to get up early for school). I find it hard to get up anytime before 11am, and all I hear is complaining from the parents that I need to live like a normal person. Ive been working for my dad, as he owns his own company but things just havent been going well and I feel like im a 15 year old boy now. I did quit drinking, and gambling for the most part and haven't hung around friends/bad influences in over a month so I do feel like im making progress, but most of that goes unnoticed. They just look at my sleep schedule and complain.
The tension has been building up between my dad and I for a couple weeks and finally tonight the bubble finally burst. I hear screaming that I need to stop living like an Alien, start getting to sleep on time and get out of the rutt im in. Took everything in my will to refrain from jumping up and going off on him but I thought of the consequences and being homeless, etc.
Anyway, have any of you guys ever experienced moving back in and whats the best way to stay on the good side and the fastest ways to get the hell out of here. I have applied places for several months and had a few interviews but nothing has come to fruition. All I know is I can't keep living like this, need my freedom. What would you guys do?
