Update on the university situation - eeek

Hi all For some reason I couldn't post in the thread I started ... :} Not sure what that's all about. Anyway, I got a reply from my second choice uni who have let me in, my first choice one I'm still waiting on. The bad news is that I'm funding it all myself. Starting now. I have to pay for absolutely everything I want to do, even living with my parents now. This is crap. I'd need to be making roughly £20 per day in order to support myself at uni, possibly a little less now but still roughly £30 a week. They know I'm not well-off enough to do this, their plan is to cripple me financially such that I'd have to stay here where they want me to stay. And my parents are giving me so much abuse for it. Like today, I woke up about 6 hours ago, and I've spent probably 3/4 of that time arguing with my mum. I hate this situation. My dad thinks that I'll be wasting my life by not following their orders. What they don't see is I have to go where I'm happy first and foremost, not where I'd have good career prospects (although those are higher in Scotland too as far as I'm aware). They give me so much **** I hate it all. I hate them. They can't see that they're driving me closer and closer to just ending my life. I'm not going to let them force me to stay where they want me to - that will be giving in. It is my decision to make, not theirs. I want to go somewhere where I will be closer to my girlfriend (we're about 100 miles away now, this could become 60 miles or 0 miles depending on whether my first choice accept me or not). What am I supposed to do? And please no more "listen to your parents" replies. They do not want whats best for me - they dont even know what's best for me. Thanks for listening guys
