Thanks, KR. No, unfortunately, there's no one I can stay with for any length of time while I am not at school. Yes, I am graduating in 3 weeks on December 20th. When he was little, he would kick me, pinch me, hit me. He still does it. My parents said I should move back in with them after graduation but that would be an unhealthy proposition simply based on the fact that now both my dad and brother are abusive and I'd be almost 23 years old. Also, I am a true believer that once you reach your twenties you should be on your own unless there are extreme reasons why you should be living at home for any period (i.e. divorce, loss of home due to disaster, etc.) They want me to move back in with them so I can save money even though they said they'd pay the rent and utilities and health/car insurance/taxes until I get through with law school. BTW, I am graduating with my Bachelor's in December.

I didn't go to high school or church here where my parents now reside. They moved 2 hours away from my hometown. I can't go back there because I may have a job lined up in Charlotte, NC and I am originally from the Greenville, SC area. There is no one I can go to to try to intervene in this horrible situation. I am really stuck in between a rock and a hard place with this one.

I agree with ya KR that he's old enough to contain his temper, especially about Internet usage. He says that I have my own computer (which is at my apartment) and he doesn't come over and use my computer (which he does). He said I shouldn't take over when I come here (which I don't . . . I have other things to do). What he means by taking over is, I shouldn't be using HIS bathroom (which is supposed to be shared between me and him)(this also includes taking a bath, drying/curling my hair, and doing my personal business), use my parents computer (which I have full permission to do so by way of my parents), sit in the computer room which he claims to be his extra room because he has his TV, DVD, and Playstation in.
