Sorry everyone I just need to vent...
So I'm 20 and as some of you may know, Mike and I have had a pretty rough time lately. Well I've decided to go to college. I finally figured I would have the time and would be able to get financial aid and everything. So I looked up the community college here, picked my classes I wanted to take, then I looked up financial aid. Well considering I'm still consider "dependent", I would need a parent signature. The only way I wouldn't need their signature is if I was "independent" which means I would need to be: Married, have a child, ward of the state, or in the military. Well as of right now I'm none of those and Mike and I aren't getting married until next summer and I wanted to start college before then.
So here's the part that made me so upset tonight I cried.
I called my dad earlier today and told him. He sounded a little happy and told me he would sign the papers for me. But the only thing is I need his and my mothers signature. So I called later tonight around 8 something and I asked my mom. She laughed at me. She just flat out laughed. She didn't believe that I wanted to go to college. She used to tell me I wasn't smart enough to go.
I really want to go to college and get more education. I'm just so upset that she wasn't even trying to be happy for me. She just laughed and thought it was a big joke. I honestly thought her and I were on good enough terms for me to ask for a stupid signature that would just determine that they can't pay for college and that I would be able to receive financial aid.
Again, sorry, had to vent..I'm so upset right now and unless the community college can do something, I can't go to college until after I'm married which is about a year away.
