cutting myself off financially from my parents?
i live and go to school in colorado and my parents live in virginia. they are paying for half of my college right now. there is one loan in my name and the other in their name. me and my parents have a good relationship right now but they are still trying to control my life. they keep telling me that it’s my life and i have to make my own personal decisions and that they try not to meddle in my personal life. however i brought up going to cancun, mexico for spring break with my friends and my dad said “you’re NOT going” then i asked him isn’t it my deicison and he said that i could go but he’s going to pray that i have the worst time of my life. (we’re a christian family) then the other day he randomly brought up that if my grades ever drop that he’s cutting me off financially when i get good grades. i was so open with them to let them know eveything that went on in my life even if they didn’t agree with it but now i feel like i can’t b/c it’s like i’m in fear of doing anything b/c they’ll cut me off. i’d rather pay for college on my own and work with my financial aid office then feel like they own me when they keep hovering it over my head. but i don’t want it to affect our relationship. we’re all going to sit down and talk about things next week when i’m home for thanksgiving. how do i approach this?
