I sympathize with your situation. Do you have any other friends/relatives that are not jw's that you could stay with? You need to take some time out and focus on what's really important to you. I went through a similar situation about a year ago. I don't have any other family that is not a jw, so I went and stayed with a friend from my part time job. It did wonders being able to think straight without all the jw bulls**t my family threw at me. They thought (and still do) that they were doing what was best for me. Only you know what is best for you. I won't lie and say it is easy. It is bloody hard. Probably the hardest thing you will ever have to go through. My family have now disowned me and treat me as if I am dead. They think that I just wanted to leave to sleep around, do drugs etc. Couldn't have been further from the truth! If they just listened...but they didn't. They had their own pre-conceived ideas and weren't willing to hear otherwise. I don't know what the situation is in your country, but we are lucky enough here to be able to get a welfare payment to help us leave home due to religious intolerance. I got mine when I was 16 and a bit. It's not enough to live on, but combined with an after school job, you can get by. By doing this, I got peace and freedom. It's not for everyone, it makes you grow up fast, but I wouldn't have it any other way. As for being on my own, I now have alot of friends that are much better than any I had as a jw. I am finally accepted for who I am, and not condemned for what I do or don't do.
