Re: My story (kind of long)

I just realized my cell phone is on the family plan. I tried to get it off the family plan, but Sprint refused to do it without my dad's permission.  If he says "no", they will not take my cell phone off the family plan.  It's much cheaper being on the family plan though, as opposed to having my own account.

I'm not interested in changing my number AGAIN, especially when I I had to change my number twice due to predatory-like men that were harrassing me. Why should I do it a third time?  I hate it when people condescendingly keep asking "Why do you keep changing your number?"

As for my friends in Chicago, my one true friend doesn't drive. My other "friends" were simply the result of living with N.  I unconsciously made friends that were similar to an N, so I don't really like to ask things from them.  

The only other option is take a cab, but my parents will stop me.

I think one has to truly be in this situation to realize that no contact isn't the easiest option. My parents know that I can slip away, so they're doing everything in their power to keep me tied to them.

Sorry.  You don't have to go no contact, and I don't believe I suggested it.

I do want you to realize that limiting your contact is a very real option.

Lighter, I'm sorry I misread what you're trying to imply. I had to re-read it a couple of times.  :D

Yes, low contact is what I plan to do as long as their alive.

NM hasn't even called within 2 weeks. It's kind of strange, but relieving!  She usually calls once a week.  She used to do it daily, but gradually cut down.

I've thought about calling her out of guilt and just to keep things "civil," but I know I shouldn't.  I want to enjoy the breath of fresh air!

lighter:
I'm just glad to read there's distance between you and them, Slavenolonger.

Glad to read you're enjoying a respite from your mother's phone calls.

Breath the free air, my friend.....

and live your life in the present.

I bumped up this topic only to say that my cell phone is finally off the family plan. To me, that means another step away from control.

I don't know what changed my parents' mind, but I told them again I want my own plan.  They agreed to it. Yeah, I have to pay more money, but it's finally mine.

Today was rough sitting on the phone for more than an hour talking to 3 different people just to transfer my account and saying that I have to have  my step-dad authorize me permission to start the account.
