Why do you think my family wants to control me I am 23?

I moved back home and am starting college again this coming fall. Since last July I have been contemplating vandwelling. My family however is strongly opposed I wouldn't tell them anything or at least I shouldn't but I did and I am getting lectures about how when I am older I will want q house. For me I don't want anymore student loans. When I start school all the money I would waste on an apartment can go towards my education. An education they keep forcing down my throat. I am not opposed to school but when I have to work just to go to school just to pay for some dumb place that I only use to sleep and shower. This isn't helping me. I want to have freedom which I don't have. When I did live on my own all I did was work two jobs and pay bills that isn't a life I want to live ever again. But no one gets it. They want me to be a slave to work and buy a house that I will work to often to ever even enjoy. Literally if this is not what I want why are they dead set on making me live that life. It is my life after all. Anyways please give advice. I am really getting to the point where I will just go away.

    cause they like the power they get from controlling you, just do what you want and if they dont like it thats their problem

    Go away where?

    Are your parents helping yo financially? Do you have to pay them rent? If so, why not go and pay rent somewhere else? If they are helping you in this way, you will just need to be patient while you at college, and once you embark on your career you will have more choices.

    Hang on in there! :o)

    It is your life do what you want. Your parents hopefully want what is best for you and that is their idea of what is best for you. How ever if that is not your idea what is best for you then it is NOT what is best for you.You need to do what you want other wise you will end up regretting your whole life. Don't do what they want do what you want. I know I lstened to mine and I am living with the regret now. They were very abusive and controlling.
