Never alone Douw. And you are strong and can be as strong as it takes to get thru this. Love Sam

Some things, a guy has to do for himself, but like Sam said, you're never alone.

This will not last forever. You will get to live your life the way you want. Focus on that. I'm sorry for your family to failing to see what an amazing person you are.

If only I could be there to knock a few heads together. I mean COME ON. You are such an awesome person how could anyone not be proud to have you as their son.

The only confort I can give is that it won't last forever. Everything changes, the good and the bad. Just watch and wait for the chance to escape. It will come. Prepare for it. Save, plan, even keep a bag packed but one day I promise it will come. Hell, I tell you what hun, when I win the lottery i will fly over there and rescue you myself.

You are young. Have faith that one day half of that happy couple will be you.

We love you darling, hang on in there.

Thanks every one it means a lot to me;~}

Dude-

Pack your stuff. It's time to go. You're 20 years old. If you are being treated like a child, it is because you are allowing it.

Douw,

Your life has changed quite dramatically in the past year. Try to keep positive about the future. There will be things that you won't be able to change and others that you will have some leverage with. Focus on what you can do, write down all the possible options and, like Nephy said, be ready for opportunities. You don't need to burn all the bridges at once, but you can't let people (especially family members, who should be protecting you) walk all over you for ever.

*Sending strength*
