...with them? My father is the very controlling type, and always compares everything to portugal. Its annoying. He will hear something on tv, and say in portugal its called bla,bla,bla. Then he runs to the portuguess dictionary to show me like I didnt believe him or something. Ive been to porchop land before, and it felt awkward. I could stay over my Aunts house If I stay here in NJ, but I really dont know her that well either, and it would also feel awkward. I just dont know what to do my father already somewhat threated me by saying he'll divorce my mother, because she will worry about me if I dont go. He is a bastard, but I dont mind him in short doses. He is my pops and I still kinda love the evil bastard. I also dont make enough money to afford an apartment so I feel stuck. Either stay with my Aunt or move to another country with my crazy father are my only options. That or maybe the military but I once mentioned that and my mom started crying. I do feel stuck and I need to choose something.
