My parents won't let me grow up.

Okay I am a 21 year old female and my parents treat me like a kid. I just recently got my drivers license they never really let me drive so I'm kinda new at this thing. Well to begin I got a permit first so that I could practice now I believe that I am doing good I drove everywhere I needed to go. So I decided I was ready to take my drivers test I passed wit flying colors and my dad still won't let me drive myself to work my mom rides with me then takes MY car the one I payed a down payment on the one I make weekly payments on. It makes me mad becuz Ty expect me to keep gas in a car that I barely get to drive. My mom drives it to work and whenever I need to go somewhere I can't go. I don't knw why they still treat me like this any when they say that they trust me. I've done anything to make then not trust me. I'm in college passing I do all of my college things myself they don't help me with anything. I feel like they are holding me back. Yea im the baby of the family and the only girl but dang I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I don't see why I have to pay a car note on a car that I can't drive ugghhh Im just so frustrated. Help please

    Grab your bags and go. If you don't now, you never will.

    Ok there are two responses to this one:
    1) Put on your big girl panties and move out... Now!

    2) If your paying for the car and insurance (and all of it's in your name) and a license then get in YOUR car and drive it! Your mom and dad can't stop you from doing so. If you feel that you need back up to take control of your car you could always call the cops. (a bit extreme but it would make an impression)

    Okay, you probably are reading "Move out," and thinking I CAN'T SUPPORT MYSELF. BUT YOU CAN. Pool together any money you can. Ask for advice from relatives you trust and confide in (and wont go taddling to your parents). Get a full time job. And move out into some cheap apt. Sure it'll suck for a year, but its better than living with crazy parents. Trust me.

    they are holding you back. Thats bull shit and you don't have to put up with that just because their your parents. It sounds like they have filled your head with a lot of nonsense and are taking advantage of values they gave you. you need to get away from these people because you're sick of them and basically that means you have to work.

    In my country parents can get in heaps of trouble for taking their kids cars. I get angry just reading this. Tell them to fuck off

    I'm with Lizbit on this. Well, not so much on the cop part.. but it definitely would make an impression. XD However you choose to play it out just know it is your life and you have a right to live it however you please. Personally, I'd get the hell out of dodge.

    you're 21! you're paying for all your stuff! you sound like a very responsible person. time to set them straight. if they don't like it then leave or call the cops when they take your car. they have no right or legal standing to deny you of your possesions! that's wicked bs.

    Listen! Your 21 you can obviously support ur self get an apartment maybe a room mate to help with the bills. Don't be bullied by your parents. If u can't get a apartment, then stand up to them and simply don't let them use your car.

    Will they let you go to college?
    This kinda sounds like my life. My parents sheltered me and then all of a sudden expected me to know the ways of the world. Now I'm terrified of people. You thankfully don't seem to be. You need to get away from them as soon as possible. They seem to be obsessed with you and that's never healthy. Seek out of the house and go stay with a friend, then get a restraining order of 100ft or so. Try to get into college. Call the fuzz if they try to break the restraining order and maybe even consoling. Take them to court, but do all of this while your out of the house! Good Luck!

    You should tell them to fuck off because its your life and you're tired of them treating you like a baby.

    So don't put up with it, your an adult put your foot down. You really should move out, they won't respect you as an adult until you do

    Maybe if you learned to speak in complete sentences they would listen to what you have to say.
