I'm 21 and am flunking out of law school. I'm waiting on my last grade to come it, but I'm pretty sure I'll get academically dismissed. I live with my parents and if they find out, they will severely beat and never let me leave the house or see my long-term boyfriend (my dad doesn't even know about him, because he would prohibit it.) My parents still treat me like I am 15, yet I have done nothing but try to yield to their every demand my entire life.

I hate law school and don't want to be a lawyer. I have two bachelor degrees and plenty of job opportunities, but they will try to convince I'm a worthless failure. Initially I was scared that my dad will beat my mom if I "run-away" but at this point, I'm more worried about myself.

I have places I can stay at until I'm on my feet. What are the essential things I should have with me when I get away from them? I'm scared that they will try to track me down and harass me and the people I know. Please help, this is really difficult.
 
u may be flunking school becuz of all this stress that is being put upon u. there is no right for ur parents to beat u becuz u flunked. u may want to warn ur bf ahead of time so he wont think ur avoiding him if u arent allowed to talk to him. u are 21 and u need to be able to make ur own decisions. dont let ur parents decide for u. sit down and try to talk to them about ur situation. u need to let ur dad know about ur bf. i wouldnt say that keeping ur bf a secret is lying but he will be happy u told him now instead of waiting even longer. if he prohibits, ask him to give u a reason why. if he gives u a good enough reason, also talk to ur mom about ur dads decision. hope this helped.
