Yeah, guys. I mean the situation sucks but to suggest I should get emancipated or that my parents shouldn't have custody over me or my sister is going a little far? They're not bad people, they don't abuse or neglect us, they just try a little too hard to be "cool parents" and more often than not I end up in situations like this.
I am 19 years old. I pay my taxes, buy my own food, buy my pets food, work a full time job, have my own credit card, drive, all that stuff. I could leave any time and nobody could stop me. However because of mental health issues I've been dealing with my whole life I am not ready to be on my own. That's why I have my beardie. This silly lizard, who throws his salad around his enclosure, who tries to hide his 20 inch body behind a 1 inch wide cactus, who manged to terrify our kitten just by turning his head towards her,who visibly perks up when I first come to check on him every morning and turns to lick my fingers when I pat him. He brightens my life and I ultimately put him first because of it. I just want advice on how to keep him as stress free as possible so he can continue to do so. As far as the party goes I have done literally all that I can short of crashing it myself, brought up all the points made in this thread and then some, only to be met with a metaphorical wall. At this point it all falls on my parents, my sister, and the trust they put in the people invited to this party not to royally screw us over. I will be taking inventory of my possessions and I will insist on them being replaced if they go missing. I might even get my sister and parents to sign off on a guarantee nothing in my room will be touched. I've got it covered guys, there's no need to freak out this bad. Again it's still a stupid, stupid, sttttuuuuuuupppppiiiiiiddddd, stupidstupidstupid thing but I'm not the one letting it happen. If anything goes wrong I can rest a bit easier knowing that I called it and tried to stop it, as immature as that sounds.
