Do I like 25? I'll take that as a compliment and the nicest thing you've ever said. Ever. And I won't say that to my dad because he'll just deny it. "He's always right."

That all sounds good, but I'm my mother's only child (father's 4th) and I'm scared to leave her by herself. My parents are old (59 and 66) and they're both wearing down a bit, but I do care about my mother more than my father. Only because I love her and she does pay for my way in life and puts me in front of EVERYTHING. Him on the other hand, not so.
I wouldn't mind moving out, but I have everything calculated in my life that I can't. Like I said, my mother pays my way. My tuition is high (13k/year) and next year in college, it'll be ever higher. The two schools I want to go to are about 22k a year and I don't want to take out loans and be stuck in debt for the rest of my life. Hitting 45 and still paying college loans is not cool. Plus, my mother wouldn't let me work, let alone move out. I can't work because I have school to concentrate on and I can't move out for obvious reasons.
I can't live with grandparents because one of my grandfathers is dead, the other one is about to die, one grandmother in Barbados, and the other in North Carolina and she needs someone to take care of her and I live all the way in Connecticut.
I'm spending some time with my aunt and uncle in VA Beach for two weeks, but I can't live with them. They've free spirits and there is a reason they've never had kids.

Plus... I'm not ready to leave the nest, yet.
