Thanks very much *hugs* back :( i pretty much had to fight for the freedom i have now (with lots of complaints). Before i moved in with this family, i had no idea that i was gunna be treated like a little kid with no freedom to do anything or go anywhere by myself. if i knew beforehand, i wouldn't have moved in (i would have just stayed with my parents and got better on my own without their help), now that i have a little more freedom to go out by myself, i do push the boundaries as much as i can (i come home later in the evening and i don't even call them anymore to let them know where i am)
although, i do feel bad for my housemate because he doesn't have the chance to earn freedoms like i do. he will be treated like a 5 year old for as long as he lives there, im sure he's use to it by now since he's been living there for 8 years (he doesn't know any different than living under our caretakers mind control cult tactics)
