<p>I agree that there is more to this story. But to respond to the statement that his parents would have cut off all ties with him if he quit causing intensive damage to thier relationship. Well, to harbor this grudge against your parents for “making you go” even after 5 years seems to have done the same thing. You should have quit if you were so unhappy. You could have repaired the relationship with your family. No one can make you go to school. If you were ready to start leading your adult life without college, you should have done that. Go get a job and an apartment.</p>
