[April Masini, your AskApril]

I’ve given you advice and you don’t seem to want to take it. 🙄 I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but: You’re playing the victim. You keep complaining and saying the same thing over and over, and not really seeming like you want to make any changes in your life.

As I said before: [b]Your boyfriend is manipulative and a bully. You’re only 19 years old and have been dating him for just 7 months. There is no reason for him to be pressuring you to move in with him. He’s 32. He knows what’s he’s doing. He does not have your best interests at heart. And your family sounds like a bunch of thugs who will “beat you up” 😯 if you move in with him. [/b]

It’s time for you to stop playing victim. If you have student loans, then get a job. If New York is too expensive, then move to Arizona or Florida or New Jersey. You have options, but you fail to take them. The ball is entirely in your court. This is your life. Time to grow up, my friend. 😉
