Alright, well I didn't sell everything, I have some stowed at a friends house (big props to you ;) ). Drastic? Maybe, but school is first, and if they did call the cops on me, I'm screwed out of school (I had enough to be arrested, and undoubtedly get kicked out). This is my 3rd year, so pretty much junior college is out at this point. Rehab, it wouldn't put it past them, but I'm not worried about that. Was he lying about the cleaning up bit? It wouldn't surpise me if they were actually cleaning up my room. My sound equipment is worth big bucks, and being in the basement it is in danger of flooding. My dad is also irrationally scared of flooding (we have 5 sump pumps, 3 alarms, 2 battery powered pumps, a rack of 6 marine batteries, and 2 hand pumps, a generator, and we normally have hosing ready in case we need to siphon to the end of the lawn). On the other hand he was going through my shit, cleaning or no I never gave him permission. It's his house so I'm not pissed that he did it, but I think a lot less of him. Letting up over time... my older brother (26) lives 2 miles away, and still gets plenty of shit from the parents. I have no desire to stay in the area after graduating, but in the meantime they pay for most of my school and my car. I haven't quit smoking (yet), and don't plan too unless they drug test me in order to keep my car. The whole thing is a fucking mess. I'm sure their church will call me sometime this week wanting to have a 'counseling session'. They aren't going to trust me around my younger brother much either, which is probobly the worst part of it all.
