aww pooor you.. :frown: But i really admire the way you're trying to make something out of yourself...(getting a job, doing a levels etc) :smile:

Have you tried discussing this with your dad? your nan? Maybe he just hasnt realised how he's affecting you.. but it just seems like this is his lifestyle and so it seems like it would be difficult to try and tell him to change it...so maybe you just need to get by with the hope that university (or whatever/wherever you want to go) will be awesome!

Just stick the year out and then leave. You've already dealt with too much to leave right at the last hurdle!

Go for it, look forward to the future, the things you would do and the people you will meet, the places you will go after you leave to motivate you.

No need to lose the will to live at all! Have some faith! That's it! JUST HAVE SOME FAITH!

Hey, I'd just thought I'd post because I live with my nan and have done since January 2004. In some respects I like it because it's peaceful. However, I'm away from the rest of my family (parents, brother and sister), I hardly talk to her and she knows little about my friends etc., I don't feel comfortable having people over. I'm looking forward to going to uni though (Cambridge, for languages!) but it is a difficult situation because she will miss me a lot (because she is ill I do a lot for her) but I need some more freedom and want to travel more etc.
hay i got some advice if you move with your nan would that help, you can stay over for a few nights and then get some privacy and you only need to go home if you need anything rit this would make your life pece full and reaxing rit
good luck :-)))
You made me think of these lyrics...

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
lol

Use your current situation as motivation to work hard and you'll go far. In some ways you are very lucky to have that.
Your dad sounds rather selfish.
