Help!
A little background before I get to the whole story. I'm 23 (almost 24) year old woman. I work for my parents who have been business owners for 38 years, and my Dad is also my pastor, so naturally my parents are pretty strict when it comes to me. I have a curfew of 10pm, I'm never allowed to stay the night with my friends unless it's one of the girls from church and usually my sister stays with her too, and anytime I'm out after work/before curfew; Mom calls me every 30-45 minutes, and boys?! Don't even go there with them... they will create some kind of drama everytime. I feel trapped. I have been trying to move out for 3 years but every job I can get my Dad sooner or later becomes affiliated with, so he can control my hours or my pay... which is why I can't move out. My pay keeps changing, Sometimes it's $200 a week sometimes I don't get paid at all. And I work at least 40 hours a week. I just can't see a way out of this, I am not the type to ask for help from anyone. I need advice... what would you do in this situation. I need to leave but I don't want them to hate me. I'm tired of them controlling my whole life.
Okay so to the next part. Beings I still live with my parents, I have been sneaking my boyfriend in my house, I don't get much time with him because he lives/works 2 hours away and it's usually about 8-9pm (remember 10pm curfew) when he gets to town if he gets to come in at all. This morning I was sneaking him back out and my Mom caught us. She's pretty pissed at me. I understand that this is their house but I need some freedom and I need to be able to see the man I'm falling in love with for more than an hour every 3/4 days and it's not even an uninterrupted hour because of the phone calls and texts. I need to be on my own but how can I do that when I work for them and they can control my paycheck? I paid for my car and I pay my car insurance, they pay for my phone as it's technically a business phone. I try to pay my own way but I make less than minimum wage. Idk what to do from here, any advice or anything like that will be greatly appreciated!!!
