You're a female, aren't you?

Not OP but my parents do the your job is school thing and I lived out of my car out of state for a few months because I couldn’t afford housing and refuse to get student loans.

I’m a male, so it happens with guys too. My parents are Christian though

>>611492

I'm a male. Why do you ask? Is it because of the pic?

>>611494

My parents are """Christians,""" but they hate the Catholic Church. My mom is a boomer in a Gen Xers body and believes Facebook-tier conspiracies such as the Illuminati and the whole host of stuff that you see against the Catholic Church (most upsetting: she used to be a Catholic). My dad has been a prot all his life, one of the sillier kinds of anti-Catholic, the Steven K. Anderson kind.

What you should do is ask the priest. Someone will take you in till you get on your feet. God bless you, Lk 14:26.

>I'm a papist

No you're not.

>>611500

Self-referential humor. If "papist" is legitimately derogatory and I should use it, then I won't.

>>611503

>Taking the easy way

Jesus didn't come to bring peace, but a sword.

Guessing based on the idea of your father providing for you.

You should own up to your father. If he kicks you out it'll be on him, but sneaking around while he pays for your care seems to fly in the face of the first commandment with promise.

And putting your parents down on this board is pretty scummy too.

I need to get resources first. My original plan was to wait four years hiding under his nose and then moving out as normal. When I first asked this board for advice, they said that that was awful, so I changed my plan to "leave this summer." As it is now, at least I'll be leaving on my own accord. I have to leave with my affairs in order. If I get kicked out now, I won't have anything or any skills (I'm learning to code). I can't own up to him (that priest idea is the closest that I have to doing that) because this man is impenetrable. He actually is a boomer, stuck in his ways and not willing to consider the wiser men that came before him (no, farther back than that). The most that I can do is just leave him without notice with an e-mail full of apologetics behind me. Anything else will just result in fingers in his ears (I am interested in him actually converting, so getting in a shouting match will make no gains).

I'm also not putting them down ("He's very loving"). I'm just trying to explain the situation with a bit of chanspeak sprinkled in.

>I need to get resources first.

I'm not a catholic, and naturally you have no obligation to listen to me, but I'll give you the advice I'd give a Christian from my denom moving out from atheist parents; be honest. Honouring your father, even if he is misguided, is more important than getting your ducks in a row. God will provide for you same as He provides for the sparrows and the ravens.

Paul wrote about Christians facing nakedness, famine, and the sword for Christ's name's sake, so if you truly believe in your church you should defend it.

Again, this is coming from a Steve L. Anderson Baptist, so take the meat spit the bones.

There is no reason why he should earn the enmity of his father if he can do what he intends to do without being confrontational. Sharing the gospel with him after leaving a bad taste in his mouth would be many times more difficult.

>>611525

God told us to be wise as snakes and innocent as doves. Basically not to be foolish. Having some foresight is also a grace of God and should not be squandered.

Well, regardless of faith related matters, you should be working on being independent anyway. Secondly, I think talking to a priest in your local parish might be helpful, just go during the priest's office hours.

My personal opinion is that it wouldn't be smart to tell him about your decisions until you're fully prepared to leave. I think that people who tell you to do it right away wouldn't do it themselves if they were in your shoes.

Also, you have to start RCIA to receive sacraments. If you were baptized already, you don't need to be baptized again. Be sure to talk to your local priest, you can't just enter a Catholic church and pow you're a Catholic now.

Be careful OP. I admire your faith, but you are going to the mouth of the wolf.

>If a Muslim does the same why is she oppressed

Because she'll be beaten to death if she doesn't .

Also, nuns dress that way because they're celibate

So you want to move out, assuming you're in a city look for a room in a share flat. It's cheap and it gives you a reference once you look to rent your own place. Then for a job, get that asap and get anything. Literally anything that is full time (40 hours per week). Beggars can't be choosers and you have to understand life is going to be absolutely dogshit terrible for months. You should be working as much as you can, and saving up.

Immedietly start looking for a better job. There is no loyalty in the workforce. If you get a better wage the next day, take it. Just dont show it on your resume. Cut out the jobs you stay in for a week, and buff out for longer the ones that look better on a resume. Essentially you should be looking for some kind of apprenticeship. Don't expect to be able to finish uni.

Now with that put out of the way, save up enough to live in a hostel for a few weeks (in the US I'd suggest $400, that should get you accomodation and "enough" food to survive) then immedietly tell your Dad your decision. If he kicks you out, you have a plan. If he doesn't, then thank God for your luck.

Ill pray for you OP. I hope everything goes well.
