I don't really think the police will help much.  I agree with Colleen - can you meet your ride somewhere else?  It might help diffuse the situation if you are not there when the ride arrives.

Actually the police can help! A very similar situation happend to a good friend of mine when she was 18. She was moving out of the house and her parents would not let her leave. Seriously, her dad picked her up and threw her in her bedroom. She called the police and they escortred her out of the house. If worse comes to worse call them! It sucks if it comes down to it but your a big girl and she is just gonna have to deal with it I'm afraid. That or you can stay home and regret not going! It may piss off your mom but she shouldn't be so controlling. Good luck!

Wow, that's good to know!  Hopefully it won't come to that.

I was up last night worried about you Phantomrose! I swear your mommy dearest story made me have nightmares about my own mother. It woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep so I thought about you. I hope things took a turn for the better yesterday and you were able to catch your flight. Hugs!

Update: I ended up not going to the UK.  :\\\'(

It's going to be a long story...but I'll condense it as much as possible. I tried to leave, and got as far as the airport. I was sitting there, waiting for my flight, all ready to go but then my uncle and a police officer came. They sat me down from my area and started talking to me. It was all pretty much a blur, and I was feeling upset. Eventually they took me back to my parents and I ended up going home.

I really can't remember a time I have been depressed in my life, but that's how I feel at the moment. I told my boyfriend all that has happened and he was pretty upset too, because he told his friends and family that I was going over there. I feel like an idiot for telling my friends and coworkers that I was going away for three weeks. Today, my boyfriend and I had a discussion about what happened last night. Eventually, we ended up deciding that it was best if he came over to the US to visit.

I do remember one thing that my uncle told me; he came up with an option for me and my boyfriend. My uncle said that he would like to talk to my boyfriend and would like to purchase a plane ticket, hotel, etc so that he can come to the US to visit me. I said I would think about it and talk it over with my boyfriend.

So far, my boyfriend agreed to talking to my uncle, but not at the moment because he feels just as upset as me. I can not sleep at all at the moment and feel as if I have to pour my feelings out there. I feel like I have failed the relationship in some way, but most of all, failed my boyfriend. He says that I should not blame myself, but I can not help doing that. I feel like I am going to regret this decision for a pretty long time, like I should have just got on that plane.

OMG! I can't believe it! I only read the first line and I'm so unhappy for you.

The POLICE????? OMG, I really think you should look into getting your own place. I don't care how much your family said it's "because they love you" or because they are "worried" 19 is old enough. You should have been the one to call the police not them. Controlling is more like it then worried IMO.

I hope at least your Uncle will come through with his offer to fly out your BF since you basically wasted a ticket (and we all know how expensive they are).

All I can say is don't feel like you've failed. If you didn't have so many people working against you, you would have made it just fine. Not to pour salt in your wound but yes, you should have just got on the plane. Please keep us posted. I hope you get to see you BF soon. More Hugs!!!!

This, and again, not to pour salt in the wound.  But why didn't you just go?  DId your uncle talk you out of it or what?  How did your uncle even get to the departures area without a ticket, etc.?

And what was the role of the police officer? I can't believe the police would get involved in something like this.

My guess would be the police officer he brought along with him to scare Phantomrose! It's a shame because it really worked just like her mother and family were probably hope it would.  >:(

Oh Phantomrose you know you might be able to explain to the airline what happened and pay the $200 bucks to change it and go...Sure your family might still be upset but just maybe and it is your happiness that counts...Although I think it is great if the BF can come here at some point.  I will tell you although I spent a weekend with my man when I met him I still made him come here first or my mom made jokes about stealing my passport...I am 34 and live 2500 miles from my mom so see all parents can joke but be semi serious since I didn't "know" him well enough he could be an AXE murderer, yeah I married him.

You didnt fail as life happens for a reason - yes I hate that cliche but it really is true.  I hope you got to skype with him or something...

Why your uncle? What did your parents do when you got home?
Where do you live? What state?

Sending huggs out to you and I hope you get to see him very soon as 2 years is a long time if I am not mistaken!
