Well, as for my perspective.
I am 19 as well. I turn 20 next month. No, I am NOT fully self-sufficient. My loans pay my tuition, and I pay for food and books, but my mom pays my rent.
As someone in a similar situation to DA, I feel that she has no right to have such high expectations of her father. He is obviously letting her live with him and helping her out.
I don't know if it was the perspective I gained after my father's death, but I appreciate ANYTHING my mother gives me. Even a simple dollar. My mom shut off my cell phone last year. She was paying for it, so she had every right to.
I still stand firm that if your parents support you AT ALL, you should appreciate that, because they don't have to.
I know many people my age who's parents kicked them out at 18 and expected them to support for themselves. Parents have EVERY right to do that, so if they support you AT ALL, you should be greatful.
