[quote=DarkwolfX37]
I was referring to the next two years. And let me ask you, what do you intend your relationship with your parents to be after that? Do you truly think that they'll change their beliefs and ideas of how to parent you just because you're a few years older? The only thing that'll change is the conduit, unless you plan to cut off all contact, in which case why wait?

I intend to maintain full contact, visit for family dinners, and eventually return to my roots and move back to this little old town just to be here. They won't change their beliefs on how to parent me, but once I hit college, my decisions are my decisions. They cannot control my life once I hit that point, and I am free to do as I please. Though if they try to help me, I will respect their advice, interpret it myself, and that's it.
