I'm 21, Ill be 22 in July .. I moved out at 18 and have lived on my own ever since. I have always had roommates and now my roommate I've been living with is moving in 2 weeks across country. I have a job that I am not proud of and could afford living on my own most likely altho it would be hard (rent&bills=$1500/mo) and I really want to stop working in my line of work, get my debt paid off and turn my life around for the positive. I am very close with my parents I am sure they would let me move back but I don't know how to ask them. I don't want to fail them. I also have a cat she is 3 yrs old I rescued her, she is not declawed and I know my parents won't let me keep my cat. my cat saved my life (I know how odd that sounds) and I am very attatched the thought of getting rid of her breaks my heart. I just can't afford my mental & physical health + stress to rent an apartment alone and I have a phobia of being home alone. I am so stressed please help me out.

You say you are close to your parents, that is a positive sign. So just let them know how you feel the way you wrote it here and explained your finances, fears, and life's goal. If you touched me with your question, and I feel for you. How much more will your parents feel for you, and want to help you.

Regarding your pet, if they don't want it then I am sure you can find a good home for it elsewhere.

Go and talk to your parents about your situation and let them know what your plans are and I'm sure they aid and assist with some accommodations. As far as the cat is concerned you may have to find a home for it, it seems that your life situation is more important than the cat. What's more important at this time? The cat or you mental and physical state? If you don't take care of you then how would you be able to take care of the cat. Find it a good home and I'm sure you will be much better off not worrying about taking care of an animal.

The best thing you can do is be direct put all your concerns on the table let them know your situation with the cat maybe a compromise can be reached such as de-clawing your cat. The one certain thing is that you will get nowhere if you don't make the effort to establish communication with you parents and you will probably be surprised at how willing they will be to help you out and work something out that's good for all of you. It can only help you to begin the discussion don't wait the more time you have to work the details the better. Good luck it will work out so don't worry.

All right, since you are welcome to move back, u should just say that you will not move out again till u get married. This is to show that you are a filial child and you don't treat your parents' house as a free hotel.
As for your cat, u can tell your parents the truth that it once saved your live. If not, ask them to treat your cat as a roommate; n you will pay the rent for it. I mean how could you just abandon a cat which saved your live once?

I feel how you are cornered believe me. It will lower you self esteam to talk to the parents it is something you must do, before all this talk about how important the cat is to you and is have one two I cannot live without she is part of my soul. Use a spray bottle at the doller store to correct her in a new evironment, it doesn't hurt and they don't like it. they will listen in the end, talk to them they are human too, tell them that you respect them and their space you just want to know if you really needed to could they please tolerate your cat. He loves you more than you do and you just want him to be ok. Just like you want to be ok. Take a leap of faith, ask the parents to help you but you can't live without the cat he is part of you. If this isn't ok, trust a friend to look after him and visit often, but you don't want this so try not to think about it unless its a last resort. Remember you are a good person and everyone deserves a second chance and parents are one place you should be able to do this. Live, love and laugh and you will be better than you know it. Take care Heather
