They've always been good to me and I've always been respectful. I guess its kind of at a turning point now. I'm in my first year of college, working part time to save up for a place of my own (still a long way to go to save up enough money). And I have this guilt about living in this house that I never payed for and I have no stake of ownership in. I'd like to do more around the house but my mom insists on doing almost everything. So that makes me feel useless. And I guess I have this feeling that I should sort of be distancing myself, but my parents keep wanting to get closer. Its not so much that so much as it bothers me to know that they know so many of my vulnerabilities when no one else does. So, you know, I'm not saying I'm in a bad situation, and I'm very grateful, I'm just looking for advice on how to make it better.
