My parents drive me mad!

I've been at uni for a year now and i've noticed that ever since i started there and begun to grow up and gain my own independance my parents have become impossible for me to live with. When i come back to Somerset all we do is argue i can hardly bear more than a week with them. I've done a hell of a lot of growing up at uni over this year and my life is finally in my own hands and it just seems like my parents don't like the idea of me controlling my own life as if they think i'm not up to it or something, They literally drive me crazy, i'm now with them for the summer and i have to live with them for three and half months. I will go insane and probably end up killing one of them. I wanna go home (by home i mean plymouth/uni) i miss my boyfriend and i won't be able to survive three months with my parents. I tend to hide in my room a lot but my dad refuses to fix the lock on my door so they can always just walk in. I can't move into my new house until september so there is no chance of leaving early, i really don't know what to do.

Well, if you're so independant, fix the lock on your door :wink:.

They probably just miss you and don't like the idea you're grown up, as you said. I suggest you try going back with a positive mental attitude and perhaps you'll see results? If you don't let them piss you off then they'll lose interest in "annoying" you (while I'm sure it's not intentional, they'll probably accept you more when you're around for a longer.)
