Well, it's official.
Just as an update, I'll post it.
My parents have decided on the Academy.
It's a go, though I have a while.
Though this forum seems to have given my parents - especially my father who found a place in Portland that's not a live-in, but my mother has decided it isn't an option... - things to think about, there is no escaping this end result.
I thank all of you for your help and insights, and if you find anything else, we'll check back here to look at it.
Well, if I were you, I wouldn't ever again take your parents' word at face value. Your dad said right in this thread that if you agreed to go to counseling at home, he would not send you away.
Anybody who thinks you can "help a family" by breaking up the family and isolating the children from it is an idiot.
Well, My father and my mother are two completely different entities. On one hand, my father would like to work with me as a human being, a friend, and a daughter, in order to communicate on what is the best option for me, and my future in my mind, as well as his.
He found me a place, I agreed to it, he was to set up a meeting.
My mother, on the other hand, thinks that local counseling would not work - without even trying, - believing that all the problems are to big, and thus, the academy should be utilized to get me to where I need to be.
She communicates as the mother, and the superior, deciding that school meetings, grades, and past records are the deciding factor. Which in short, is confusing, and obnoxious. :suicide:
As much as I'd love to think that jail is better than the academy, I have no intention of screwing up my chances at eventually moving on to the UK, and making something of what life I have left when I emerge - which I will, no doubt.
