Feeling frustrated, not dressing as much as I want

[Jill]

Exactly one year ago, I moved into my parents house "for a couple of months" to get back on my feet. I am looking for a place to live right now but it's hard to believe that it has been a full year. Right now, I am able to dress only a couple of times a week. It really gets to me sometimes. In the past, when I had room mates, I could lock myself in my room and do my thing in the privacy of my room and not really have to worry about it. But here, my mom has been known to come down to talk to me for various reasons, I can't really dress anytime that she is around.

I'm frustrated because I feel compelled to dress and can't do it half the time. Part of me hates that I feel compelled to do that and that frustration stems from not being able to do it. I feel like it controls me sometimes. I need to move out, but this time of year is tough because all the college students are coming back into town and snatching everything up. Anyway, I just needed to vent.

Well..all what I can say is....do it!...dress..talk to mom about it..get in control of your feelings

That's my question for you here... Have you considered a talk with Mom at least? She could well become your strongest ally here.

My parents are very very conservative. The thing is, last year, I accidentally left a bra, a skirt and a couple of tops in the dryer after washing them and I was outed. Mom wanted me to talk to religious leaders about it, I tried to avoid the subject because I knew we wouldn't come to a fair agreement. It was an issue for a week or so but since then, it's kind of been a don't ask don't tell situation. I don't want to talk to her about it because I know what she is going to say and she will more or less tell me it's a sin and I should go talk to some religious leaders about it.

I know what you mean. I only have a few times a week to dress myself and all I want to do is walk around my house dressed, watch TV, and just do normal stuff, but I can't because I have housemates that come in and out at random times. Just hold on and hope that you'll find your own place and be the person you want to be without fear!

i had to stay with my parents for 4 months before i found my self a place to live, and like yourself i couldn't dress for weeks at a time. Both my parent are retiered and i was wrking shift at the time so i had no time to dress apart from the time they would go shopping. so i know how you are feeling love. yes it frustrating but hopefully you will find a place soon

Jill, I know this is dangerous ground but I get upset when I see reference to Christians dismissing CDing as a sin. If this is the situation in your household I really think you need to confront it. I am a Christian and a CDer and there is no conflict. I have put my CDing before God and it is OK.

I can't dress until September, when my wife goes back to work and the kids go back to school. So I know how hard it is.

Same thing with me but I have a father-in-law to deal with and he is quite the homebody. He has only been away two nights in two years and that was just one week ago. UGH!
