how old are you?
23.5 Im in my last quarter of undergrad
why aren't you living on campus or something?
time away from your parents and they from you would be helpful. it sounds like your actions, even more than clocking your brother, have put them over the edge.
I think you are right. They only kicked me out for a month, but right now, I dont think i will be going back.

1. Apologize to your brother.
2. Apologize to your parents.
3. Get a roommate and move out.
4. Anger management.
1. Done
2. Done
3. Done, I moved in with my friend and his mom.
4. I dont think this is necessary, there was no point when i was actually angry, and if i do get angry or frustrated I usually can take a long run and after that im fine. I was actually most annoyed that my parents would kick me out so abruptly, and not give me a chance to get all my ******. I have subsequently gone back and grabbed the rest of my stuff when one of my brothers was home.
BTW, OP, are you paying for your college or are your parents paying for it? (i.e. - Are you still dependant on your parents financially if not emotionally?)
This is a valid question, no matter what you believe.
I am paying for college tuition, parking, books, car, insurance, cell phone, registration, etc. My parents were saving me rent payment. I will have to probably have to cut down on my snowboarding to have enough money to pay rent if it comes to that. Currently im living with my friend and his mom in their 4 bedroom home. Its dirty as hell, and I told them that i would be able to help organize/clean/repair pretty much everything. (on a side note, i have never seen a home as dirty or cluttered as my friends home, i think most of it might just be an accumulation of cat fur and crap.)
Emotionally i do not think that i am dependent on my parents at all. I stayed with my parents for so long because it is financially the best decision.
Someone mentioned having a house by the time they were 23, I think that is pretty amazing and by no means a "norm." I am happy just graduating, getting my ME degree, and starting out with zero debt.
Low end houses her in Mission Viejo are around 500K I dont see myself affording one of those any time soon.
