The only adult caretakers I have had that do not try to control my life have been my father and my Grandmother. Yet I am stuck living with my Grandparents; and sadly, my Grandmother is stuck with my Grandfather. The most over controlling, narcissistic , cantankerous and belligerent old man I have ever had the displeasure of putting up with. I love my Grandparents, don't get me wrong; but living under their roof is... irritating and difficult, to say the least. I mean, sure, my Grandma's here and does decently well at calming me down; but my Grandpa gets worse and worse day after day.
Really though, I want out of this house. I want to go back and live with my Dad. My Dad and I are more like brothers than anything, really; living with him, for the most part, was just awesome. He's way more lenient, which makes me less defiant; he's more open to new ideas, so he doesn't try to control my life; he shares highly insightful experience, which means I can have a philosophical discussion with him; he doesn't try to pull an anger trigger, so I don't get angry with him. Really, the list goes on. I'm going to really talk to him about letting me live with him again, because I can't take the stress put on me in the house I'm in now...
