^ i have a similar prob with u ate shika. but the difference is i'm still a student and i'm not there abroad. so, in the mean time i'll suffer this life living in our hell house. i had a talk with my friend just last night (while we were having our on call graveyard shift), her girl cousin now living in LA was still a nursing student but a blacksheep in the family. if that daughter(my friend's cousing) is having a fight with her mom, the girl would just get out of the house and live with her boyfriend for like 1 year without talking to her mom because every time she comes back to their house, a fight would always occur between them. hmmm. i mean, i can't help with your prob right now but i'm just sharing this to you. hahaha. i'm not suggesting either. you're on your own ate.
