If you're 18, hell, even 17, move out. If not, I don't really know. When people get set in their ways about something, it is impossible to change their minds.

Hopefully someone who has/had hard assed folks can help you out, but I'm saying, if you are old enough and have a job, then move out with a few friends. Living 3 of your buddies can be cheap rent spilt 3 or 4 ways.

Anyways, good luck.
