It is quit obvious that your grandmother knows about your lifestyle and wants no part of it. Thus the rejection. Also remember, it is her son that is moving in. HER SON. Makes a world of difference. You are living way above your means. Beach front studio in Miami Beach. Whats your rent? $1500 to $2k a month plus a nice car and partying nightly and who knows what else. Like others have said, growup.

By the way homesteader and everyone; I am getting out of it. I made up my mind already to forget the beaches forget the view, the apartment forget the nightlife and Miami Dade College and everyone in Miami and I'm moving out west where it is more affordable.
Thats making it better on me so I can move on.
You said it all right there and you did say you lived in a studio apartment in Miami. So you sir are the one lying. I bet you that she does know what you do. As I said before, growup.
I still don't think you understood what I was trying to tell you. You are judging your family and upset w/ them b/c they won't help you. However, you do not want them judging you. You have no idea what has played into your g/mother's decision, but you assume she is just a bad person and you resent that her son is living with her. You have no right to judge the fact that your g/ma is allowing her son to live w/ her. Maybe she likes his company! Maybe she feels safe w/ him there! You do not know! But you are angry w/ her b/c she doesn't want to turn her house into a hostel.
All I am trying to tell you is - parents do not owe their kids a thing. I do think most would step in (but mine didn't!!!!) I certainly am there for my son, but then - he is there for me, too. I do not know how fractured or stable your relationships are in your family, but if they are not good . . . just move on. If your g/ma is not warm and caring to you - just forget it and move on. Surround yourself w/ people you CAN trust. And then make the best decisions you can as to your money and budget . . . but it seems really sad that you are going to move and quit school.

You're ridiculous, I didnt say anythign about me having a waterfront studio...I mentioned those qualities.
What makes u think I have a beachfront just to look at the water and view? Again, get your story straight.
it sucks that your fams cant help, or some of them wont help, but the best thing you can do is set your priorities, live em and take it as a lesson learned. there is no reason ot hate them or hate your race. they do not represent everyone.
good luck and sorry that people are kinda draggin you around here (especially the escort thing, that totally is unrelated, but those people just want to hurt you).
I do understand where they are coming from tho. i moved out at a young age and struggled, but now i have a home to offer my family. i never asked anything of them because they never had it to give (aside from emotional and familial support). i am happy for what i went thru and wouldnt change a thing.
these tests will make you stronger and you will be able to say that you did it. but i know how it is.
no one owes you anything. especially not at your age. and dont expect anyone to do anything for you just because they are your friends or family.
do for yourself and good luck. it will get better. and maybe a change of locale is what you need.
I agree with the way you answered this post. I am not defending the actions of the OP but, really, there is a kinder way of responding and showing the OP how things can be handled better. Methinks most of those responding are very young.
Urbane, I think you are making a wise move by getting as far from the situation as you can and still go to school..I hope that one day, you and your family can reconcile..Good luck and godspeed
