[QUOTE="Roland Delacroix, post: 345586, member: 1753"] My Mom doesnt really care, but she wants me to do what my Dad says. My dad hates RPG's, he thinks they are a waste of time and I should be studying instead. I basically had to hide everything to do with gaming from him since I was 12, RPG's, CCG's, etc. I had to lie to go out to games or he wouldnt let me go. I only had friends over at my place to game if he was away for a few days at work. He was a little ok with mini's wargaming, but still didn't like it. In fact, this was mainly the reason I moved out. One day in July 2001 i said I was going out, i'd be back before midnight (I was 23) and I finally decided that it was my life and I could do whatever I wanted. I told my dad the truth, when he asked, that I was going to a friends house to play D&D. We got in a fight, he said I had a week to get out of his house, and I took him up on it. Got a student loan to finish college part time while working. Moved in on campus, then with the GF in January. Its been tough but we do OK and I love being out of my parents home :D The upside is I found a Holy Avenger that night. My folks and I get on great, after a few months anyway. I love them and they love me, we just have a 'dont ask dont tell' policy about gaming now. [/QUOTE]
