Family Life

I have a similar life right now to Sean's. I moved out after I graduated, and lived in the dorms my freshman year, then moved in with a friend for a year. Last fall I had to move home unexpectedly because of Bed Bugs in our house. I live with my two parents who love me, and I love them, but sometimes we just don't get along. We bump heads in different ways than we did in high school. Although my brother is 7 years younger than I am and is still in middle school, I feel like I get in the way of their life. My sister had moved home a little bit before me too, so it's been a weird mix of family back at the house. It's hard being independent then moving back into your parents'. They treat me like I'm 15 still. I want to be a good daughter and be home to spend time with them, but it is just too hard. I want to be independent and live my life I was living before I had to move back home.
My genogram is not as detailed and crazy as a lot of others I am sure of that. It is very...blah. My family is boring I think!

I would have to agree with you in some ways. I love being here at college, away from my parents, and being an independent student. I get along better with my family now living away from them than I did when I lived at home. You could tell when I moved back home for Christmas break that we were starting to fight more. The first week, my mother and I got a long really well. Then as the days started to diminish as the break ended, little fights here and there would start over nothing. I think the reason why my mother and I fight is that we are so much alike in some ways. That is why I love living here in Lincoln, being able to do what I want, when I want and still get the benefits of having my parents as my parents.
