Do your parents have access to the internet from where they are if so, this is a suggestion you can download and install Skype on your computer and they can do the same and you will be able to talk to each other daily, weekly or whatever. I understand where you are coming from about parents wanting to always wanting to know how things are with you, I have the same problem and I have been on my own since 1982 This is just a suggestion. . .

Subject: [epilepsy] Frustrated
In a few months my parents might go to Las Vegas for a military reunion, and they don't want me to be by myself. I know it's only because they care about me, but it makes me feel like such a baby. I'm 20 years old! I'm pretty sure that I can take care of myself just fine. I think my parents are afraid that I will have a seizure and something horrible will happen, like me falling and suffering a head injury. They need to realize that there may be a time when I will have a seizure without them being around. My older sister Jan (she's not really my sister, but my best friend from college. She's 38) said she would stay with me. I talked to her about feeling frustrated and she said that if my parents went on this trip and something happened to me, they would feel a lot of guilt. She was also telling me that no matter how old a child is, a parent will always worry (she's a mom to a 13 year old). When I first told Jan of my dilemma, I said, "I don't need a
babysitter". She reassured me that my parents don't think I am a baby.
