Okay all....I need someone to talk me out of this...or maybe support me...I'm just not sure.

I am 23 yo single mother (of a darlin 2 year old) and I currently live at home with my parents while working part time and attending an 18 month LPN program. I have just finished my first term and have 3 more to go.

Here's the problem. I am having MAJOR problems living at home with my folks. I mean, I can not begin to explain how awful it is. Life is a constant screaming match - battle - blah blah blah. i am so miserable and it is effecting my emotional health a great deal. I'm so disturbed I've managed to lose about 15 pounds in a month and a half. I also don't want my child growing up in such a hostile environment.

I've considered moving out but it would be absolutely impossibe for me to do school and make enough money to support my son and myself.

So I'm considering dropping out, moving out of town (to where I am origionally from where I have a great support group of friends - I know no one where I live now and get quite lonely and depressed)

I hate the thought of dropping it. While I have plans of enrolling again after I move and get settled (there is a similar LPN program there) I worry that I am making a mistake. that i won't enroll. I mean...should I suck it up and suffer 3 more terms....risk having a nervous breakdown....or just take a few steps back and start over...

Thanks all...i'm sorry if i sound like such a basket case. I'm just so scared to make a decision and regret. Thought a neutral party might help.
