[nabs-l] Question about moving out of your parents house

[Chris Nusbaum]

Good idea about emailing off-list, Koby! I'm sorry to be such a 
stickler for staying blindness-related on this list, but I just 
think this list isn't the place.

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

 The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth 
in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing 
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

Koby,
Well, there are many factors to consider.  Do you know how to 
take care
of
the home you'll have?  Can you cook? Can you afford the place?
Generally, renting an apartment  with a girl/guy friend is not a 
good
idea
unless you feel pretty close and feel you can really count on 
them.
I've just heard too many stories about  the other partner 
leaving,
failing
to pay rent or
breaking up leaving the other person to pay joint bills on their 
own.
Think
about it.  Are you sure she is a long term thing?

If you have thought about it all and feel you can do it, you are 
an
adult
and can do this.
Tell your parents your decision when they are together at home; 
maybe
after
dinner or a time they do not look too occupied.

I don't think they will approve from what you've said.

Ashley

Hello All,
I'm totally blind and am 19 years old I currently have a 
girlfriend
whose 22 years of age.  She's legally blind and has cadaracts.  
I'll be
graduating highschool on December 20,2011.  I'm thinking about 
moving in
with her on that day after I get out of school.  However, I'm not 
sure
how I should explain this to my parents sense they don't want us 
seeing
one another.  Any ideas?
Each one of you right back soon,
Koby.
